Study on Two Phase Fluid Flows Involving Porous Medium Stagnation Point and MHD

Abstract

newline The presence of contaminating dust particles in fluids can occur newlinenaturally or deliberately. These problems associated with the flow characteristics newlineand their properties are of fundamental interest in the field of fluid mechanics, in newlinea number of processes in the automotive, chemical and coating industries and in newlineenvironmental applications such as the disposal of wastewater borne particulate newlinein the coastal zone and the prediction of particulate deposition from urban newlineatmospheric gas emissions. Of all multiphase fluid systems observed in nature, newlineblood flow in arteries, flows in rocket tubes, dust in gas cooling systems to newlineenhance heat transfer processes, movement of inert solid particles in atmosphere newlineare the most common examples. Naturally, the studies of these systems are newlinemathematically interesting and physically useful for various reasons. newlineThe presence of dust particles in a homogeneous fluid makes the newlinedynamical study of flow problems quite complicated. The presence of dust newlineparticles and an external magnetic field render these problems much more newlinecomplex. newlineThe objective of the present study is to investigate theoretically some newlineflow problems of practical importance. In Chapter-I, the basic assumptions and newlineequations concerning the flow of dusty fluids and the available literature newlineconnected with the present study are given.
