Thermal convection of a viscoelastic fluid in an open-top porous layer heated from below

Thermal convective instability of viscoelastic fluids in a rotating porous layer heated from below

“…Not far (at distances r g/˝2) from the axis of rotation one can assume the gravity buoyancy is dominant and the centrifugal buoyancy is negligible, hence limiting the effect of rotation to the Coriolis acceleration and assuming the centrifugal acceleration to be absorbed in the reduced pressure term. Extending the modified Darcy-Maxwell-Jeffrey model [10,24,25] to only include the Coriolis force and employing the Boussinesq approximation, one can obtain the governing equations for this system as:…”

Unsteady three dimensional flow of couple stress fluid over a stretching surface with chemical reaction

“…However during the past few decades there has been ample literature on various aspects of non-Newtonian fluids which is documented in the books [5][6][7]. At present many recent researchers are also engaged in the analysis of rheological characteristics of non-Newtonian fluids (see some studies [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]).…”

Nanogel formation of polymer solutions flowing through porous media

“…1 In the last few years, various studies dealing with the flow of non-Newtonian fluids through porous media have been carried out. [2][3][4] The importance of porous media flows lies in the wide range of engineering applications, particularly in areas such as crude oil recovery, filtration of suspensions in polymer solutions and flow in soils. 2 One of the reasons for the complexity of the flow in porous media, is that it is neither a pure shear nor a pure elongational flow, but a complex combination of both, with a strong shear component near the particle walls and a strong extensional component away from the walls due to the converging-diverging flow paths.…”
