Special Issue on Symmetry and Fluid Mechanics

Abstract

This Special Issue invited researchers to contribute their original research work and review articles on “Symmetry and Fluid Mechanics” that either advances the state-of-the-art mathematical methods through theoretical or experimental studies or extends the bounds of existing methodologies with new contributions related to the symmetry, asymmetry, and lie symmetries of differential equations proposed as mathematical models in fluid mechanics, thereby addressing current challenges. In response to the call for papers, a total of 42 papers were submitted for possible publication. After comprehensive peer review, only 25 papers qualified for acceptance for final publication. The rest of the papers could not be accommodated. The submissions may have been technically correct but were not considered appropriate for the scope of this Special Issue. The authors are from geographically distributed countries such as the USA, Australia, China, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan, Malaysia, Abu Dhabi, UAE, South Africa, and Vietnam. This reflects the great impact of the proposed topic and the effective organization of the guest editorial team of this Special Issue.

Study of Activation Energy on the Movement of Gyrotactic Microorganism in a Magnetized Nanofluids Past a Porous Plate

“…It is important to mention here that Makinde and Animasaun [20] investigated an admirable work related to magnetized nanofluid flow alongside quartic autocatalysis chemical reaction and bio-convection, and recorded that, for a fixed numeric of magnetic parameters, the local skin friction further develops at a larger thickened parametric value, whereas the rate of local heat transfer decreases at high-temperature parametric values past an uppermost subsurface of a paraboloid of uprising. Scrutinizing the definitive utilities for nanofluid and MHD, few recent investigations can be found [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38].Activation energy is the minimum supply of energy needed to accomplish a chemical reaction. Very few researchers have studied the activation energy along with chemical reaction to date.…”
