The motion of an electrically conducting, incompressible, viscous fluid in the presence of a magnetic field is analyzed for flow between two parallel disks, one of which rotates at a constant angular velocity. The specific application to liquid metal lubrication in thrust bearings is considered. The two field configurations discussed are: an axial magnetic field with a radial current and a radial magnetic field with an axial current. It is shown that the load capacity of the bearing is dependent on the MHD interactions in the fluid and that the frictional torque on the rotor can be made zero for both field configurations by supplying electrical energy through the electrodes to the fluid.

The main aim of this paper is to propose a kernel-based method for solving the problem of squeezing Cu–Water nanofluid flow between parallel disks. Our method is based on Gaussian Hilbert–Schmidt SVD (HS-SVD), which gives an alternate basis for the data-dependent subspace of “native” Hilbert space without ever forming kernel matrix. The well-conditioning linear system is one of the critical advantages of using the alternate basis obtained from HS-SVD. Numerical simulations are performed to illustrate the efficiency and applicability of the proposed method in the sense of accuracy. Numerical results obtained by the proposed method are assessed by comparing available results in references. The results demonstrate that the proposed method can be recommended as a good option to study the squeezing nanofluid flow in engineering problems.

Abstract A cell deforms and migrates on the scaffold under mechanical stimuli in vivo. In this study, a cell with division during shear stress stimulation has been observed in vitro. Before and after division, both migration and deformation of each cell were analyzed. To make a Couette-type shear flow, the medium was sandwiched between parallel disks (the lower stationary culture-disc and the upper rotating disk) with a constant gap. The wall shear stress (1.5 Pa < τ < 2 Pa) on the surface of the lower culture plate was controlled by the rotational speed of the upper disc. Myoblasts (C2C12: mouse myoblast cell line) were used in the test. After cultivation without flow for 24 hours for adhesion of the cells to the lower disk, constant τ was applied to the cells in the incubator for 7 days. The behavior of each cell during shear was tracked by time-lapse images observed by an inverted phase contrast microscope placed in the incubator. Experimental results show that each cell tends to divide after higher activities: deformation and migration. The tendency is remarkable at the shear stress of 1.5 Pa.
