In the present paper, we have studied the influence of heat transfer and magnetic field on a peristaltic transport of a Jeffrey fluid in an asymmetric channel with partial slip. The complicated Jeffrey fluid equations are simplified using the long wave length and low Reynolds number assumptions. In the wave frame of reference, an exact and closed form of Adomian solution is presented. The expressions for pressure drop, pressure rise, stream function, and temperature field have been calculated. The behaviour of different physical parameters has been discussed graphically. The pumping and trapping phenomena of various wave forms (sinusoidal, multisinusoidal, square, triangular, and trapezoidal) are also studied.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the three fundamental flows (namely, both the plates moving in opposite directions, the lower plate is moving and other is at rest, and both the plates moving in the direction of flow) of the Ree-Eyring fluid between infinitely parallel plates with the effects of magnetic field, porous medium, heat transfer, radiation and slip boundary conditions. Moreover, the intention of the study is to examine the effect of different physical parameters on the fluid flow. Design/methodology/approach The mathematical modeling is performed on the basis of law of conservation of mass, momentum and energy equation. The modeling of the present problem is considered in Cartesian coordinate system. The governing equations are non-dimensionalized using appropriate dimensionless quantities in all the mentioned cases. The closed-form solutions are presented for the velocity and temperature profiles. Findings The graphical results are presented for the velocity and temperature distributions with the pertinent parameters of interest. It is observed from the present results that the velocity is a decreasing function of Hartmann number. Temperature increases with the increase of Ree-Eyring fluid parameter, radiation parameter and temperature slip parameter. Originality/value First time in the literature, the authors obtained closed-form solutions for the fundamental flows of Ree-Erying fluid between infinitely parallel plates with the effects of magnetic field, porous medium, heat transfer, radiation and slip boundary conditions. Moreover, the results of this paper are new and original.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the steady magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) boundary layer stagnation-point flow of an incompressible, viscous and electrically conducting fluid past a stretching/shrinking sheet with the effect of induced magnetic field. Design/methodology/approach The governing nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations via the similarity transformations before they are solved numerically using the “bvp4c” function in MATLAB. Findings It is found that there exist non-unique solutions, namely, dual solutions for a certain range of the stretching/shrinking parameters. The results from the stability analysis showed that the first solution (upper branch) is stable and valid physically, while the second solution (lower branch) is unstable. Practical implications This problem is important in the heat transfer field such as electronic cooling, engine cooling, generator cooling, welding, nuclear system cooling, lubrication, thermal storage, solar heating, cooling and heating in buildings, biomedical, drug reduction, heat pipe, space aircrafts and ships with better efficiency than that of nanofluids applicability. The results obtained are very useful for researchers to determine which solution is physically stable, whereby, mathematically more than one solution exist. Originality/value The present results are new and original for the problem of MHD stagnation-point flow over a stretching/shrinking sheet in a hybrid nanofluid, with the effect of induced magnetic field.

A closed-form formula is developed for the full magnetic gradient tensor of a polyhedral body with a homogeneous magnetization vector. It is based on the direct derivative technique on the closed form of the magnetic field. These analytical expressions are implemented into an easy-to-use C++ package which simultaneously calculates the magnetic potential, the magnetic field, and the full magnetic gradient tensor for magnetic targets. Modern unstructured tetrahedral grids are adopted to represent the polyhedral body so that our code can deal with arbitrarily complicated magnetic targets. A prismatic body is tested to verify the accuracies of our closed-form formula. Excellent agreements are obtained between our closed-form solutions and solutions of a prismatic magnetic body with differences up to machine precision. A pipeline model is used to demonstrate its capability to deal with complicated magnetic targets. This C++ code is freely available to the magnetic exploration community.
