Abstract This study employs the Buongiorno model to explore nanoparticle migration in a mixed convection second-grade fluid over a slendering (variable thickness) stretching sheet. The convective boundary conditions are applied to the surface. In addition, the analysis has been carried out in the presence of Joule heating, slips effects, thermal radiation, heat generation and magnetohydrodynamic. This study aimed to understand the complex dynamics of these nanofluids under various external influences. The governing model has been developed using the flow assumptions such as boundary layer approximations in terms of partial differential equations. Governing partial differential equations are… More >

Abstract The intensification of physicochemical processes in the sonochemical reactor chamber is widely used in problems of synthesis, extraction and separation. One of the most important mechanisms at play in such processes is the acoustic cavitation due to the non-uniform distribution of acoustic pressure in the chamber. Cavitation has a strong impact on the surface degradation mechanisms. In this work, a numerical calculation of the acoustic pressure distribution inside the reactor chamber was performed using COMSOL Multiphysics. The numerical results have revealed the dependence of the structure of the acoustic pressure field on the boundary conditions More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract In the current research, a thorough examination unfolds concerning the attributes of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) boundary layer flow and heat transfer inherent to nanoliquids derived from Sisko Al₂O₃-Eg and TiO₂-Eg compositions. Such nanoliquids are subjected to an extending surface. Consideration is duly given to slip boundary conditions, as well as the effects stemming from variable viscosity and variable thermal conductivity. The analytical approach applied involves the application of suitable similarity transformations. These conversions serve to transform the initial set of complex nonlinear partial differential equations into a more manageable assembly of ordinary differential equations. Through the utilization… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Rod occasionally drops and impacts on a substrate, which can induce drastic vibration within the rod. Acquaintance with the mechanical and motional responses helps to evaluate the structure. In this study, the vertical impact of a slender flat-ended 316 stainless steel rod on a rigid flat was investigated. The rod was basically elastic despite minute plastic dissipation, which accounted for around 0.11% of the total energy, probably due to the convergence of the incident stress waves. Theoretical models describing the longitudinal vibration of the rod was established respectively using the contact-impact force and the displacement… More >

Abstract In this paper, we consider solving the topology optimization for steady-state incompressible Navier-Stokes problems via a new topology optimization method called parameterized level set method, which can maintain a relatively smooth level set function with a local optimality condition. The objective of topology optimization is to find an optimal configuration of the fluid and solid materials that minimizes power dissipation under a prescribed fluid volume fraction constraint. An artificial friction force is added to the Navier-Stokes equations to apply the no-slip boundary condition. Although a great deal of work has been carried out for topology More >

Abstract Based on Kirchhoff plate theory and the Rayleigh-Ritz method, the model for free vibration of rectangular plate with rectangular cutouts under arbitrary elastic boundary conditions is established by using the improved Fourier series in combination with the independent coordinate coupling method (ICCM). The effect of the cutout is taken into account by subtracting the energies of the cutouts from the total energies of the whole plate. The vibration displacement function of the hole domain is based on the coordinate system of the hole domain in this method. From the continuity condition of the vibration displacement More >

Abstract The utilization of solar energy is essential to all living things since the beginning of time. In addition to being a constant source of energy, solar energy (SE) can also be used to generate heat and electricity. Recent technology enables to convert the solar energy into electricity by using thermal solar heat. Solar energy is perhaps the most easily accessible and plentiful source of sustainable energy. Copper-based nanofluid has been considered as a method to improve solar collector performance by absorbing incoming solar energy directly. The goal of this research is to explore theoretically the… More >

Abstract Heat transfer characteristics for free convection boundary layer flow with a Ferro-hybrid nanofluid in the Casson field, over a stretching sheet, have been numerically investigated and tested. The constant wall temperature boundary condition was applied in this study. The dimensional governing equations were transformed to partial differential equations (PDEs) and then solved numerically by an implicit finite difference scheme known as Keller box method. The Numerical findings were presented by tabular and figures by using MATLAB program. These numerical findings were gained according to considering and analyzing the impacts of Ferro-hybrid nanofluids Casson parameters, on More >

Abstract The aim is to study the asymptotic behavior of the temperature field for the laminar forced convection of a Herschel-Bulkley fluid flowing in a circular duct considering both viscous dissipation and axial heat conduction. The asymptotic bulk and mixing Nusselt numbers and the asymptotic bulk and mixing temperature distribution are evaluated analytically in the cases of uniform wall temperature and convection with an external isothermal fluid. In particular, it has been proved that the fully developed value of Nusselt number for convective boundary conditions is independent of the Biot number and is equal to the More >

Abstract In this work, the localized method of fundamental solution (LMFS) is extended to Signorini problem. Unlike the traditional fundamental solution (MFS), the LMFS approximates the field quantity at each node by using the field quantities at the adjacent nodes. The idea of the LMFS is similar to the localized domain type method. The fictitious boundary nodes are proposed to impose the boundary condition and governing equations at each node to formulate a sparse matrix. The inequality boundary condition of Signorini problem is solved indirectly by introducing nonlinear complementarity problem function (NCP-function). Numerical examples are carried More >
