Study of the wave‐breaking's qualitative behavior of the Fornberg‐Whitham equation via quasi‐numeric approaches

Mehdi Dehghan, Jalil Manafian Heris

This paper aims to show that the variational iteration method (VIM) and the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) are powerful and suitable methods to solve the Fornberg‐Whitham…

Prediction of a temperature‐dependent electroosmotically driven microchannel flow with the Joule heating effect

Tony W.H. Sheu, S.H. Kuo, R.K. Lin

A convection‐diffusion‐reaction scheme is proposed in this study to simulate the high gradient electroosmotic flow behavior in microchannels. The equations governing the total…

Rotational effects on film cooling performance: Simulation of a louver cooling scheme on a rotating turbine blade

C.X‐Z. Zhang, I. Hassan

Numerical simulations were carried out for two cooling schemes, a circular hole and a louver cooling scheme, at the leading edge of a rotor blade in a complete turbine stage.

A meshless numerical solution of the family of generalized fifth‐order Korteweg‐de Vries equations

Syed Tauseef Mohyud‐Din, Elham Negahdary, Muhammad Usman

The purpose of this paper is to present a numerical solution of a family of generalized fifth‐order Korteweg‐de Vries equations using a meshless method of lines. This method uses…

Nonlinear dynamics of flow in piping trees using projection methods

Jason Mayes, Vladimir Voikov, Mihir Sen

Simple methods for the steady‐state analysis of a flow network are readily available, but the dynamic behavior of a large‐scale flow network is difficult to study due to the…

Natural convection flow under magnetic field in a square cavity for uniformly (or) linearly heated adjacent walls

M. Sathiyamoorthy, Ali J. Chamkha

The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of magnetic field on natural convection in an enclosure with uniformly or linearly heated adjacent walls and especially its effect…
