Bio‐thermal convection caused by combined effects of swimming of oxytactic bacteria and inclined temperature gradient in a shallow fluid layer

A.A. Avramenko, A.V. Kuznetsov

The aim of this paper is to investigate the onset of bio‐thermal convection in a shallow fluid layer; the convection is thus driven by the combined effect of swimming of oxytactic…

Homotopy perturbation method for the nonlinear dispersive K(m, n, 1) equations with fractional time derivatives

Hüseyin Koçak, Turgut Öziş, Ahmet Yıldırım

This paper aims to apply He's homotopy perturbation method (HPM) to obtain solitary solutions for the nonlinear dispersive equations with fractional time derivatives.

Analytical approach to fractional partial differential equations in fluid mechanics by means of the homotopy perturbation method

Ahmet Yıldırım

This paper aims to present a general framework of the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) for analytic treatment of fractional partial differential equations in fluid mechanics…

A transient inverse problem in simultaneous estimation of TDTP based on MEGA

A.A. Ranjbar, M. Famouri, A. Imani

The main aim of this paper is to utilize the different forms of functions for the numerical solution of the two‐dimensional (2‐D) inverse heat conduction problem with…

Combined forced convection and surface radiation between two parallel plates

Fahad G. Al‐Amri, Maged A.I. El‐Shaarawi

This paper's aim is to investigate the effect of surface radiation on the developing laminar forced convection flow of a transparent gas between two vertical parallel plates. The…

Energy flux vectors as a new tool for convection visualization

Kamel Hooman

The aim of this paper is to introduce a new technique for convection visualization. This is similar to Bejan's heatlines and is even an exact match to Landau and Lifshitz's energy…

Free convection flow of a conducting couple stress fluid in a porous medium: A state space approach

G. Shantha, Bandari Shanker

This paper aims to examine the unsteady flow of an incompressible, viscous, conducting couple stress fluid flow through a porous medium over an infinite plate that is started into…
