Similar solutions to those in Part I are given for two-fluid cosmological models when the Robertson?Walker metric in its usual form is replaced by "conformal" and "conformally flat" forms. In these cases the solutions can be written in terms of elementary functions when (3v1?2)/(3v2?2) = 1?m?1, m = 1,2,3,... The relation of these solutions to one-fluid solutions with k = � 1 is also discussed.

Exact solutions in terms of elementary functions are given for flat, homogeneous and isotropic, relativistic cosmological models which contain two fluids, each with an equation of state of the form where p is the pressure, ? is the density, is a constant, and For other forms of v1/v2, the relevant solution is given in terms of a hypergeometric function. The cases when one of the v?s is equal to 2/3 or 2 are analogous to models with a Robertson?Walker metric with k = � 1 and to anisotropic models of the type discussed by Jacobs respectively. All solutions for the two-fluid models can be written in terms of elementary functions when v1 = 0, which is analogous to a cosmological constant. The fact that all two-fluid solutions with v1 = 2/3 which can be written in terms of elementary functions are given means that all such one-fluid solutions with k = � 1 are given.

This paper is an attempt to revisit the Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) cosmological models under the new scenario of observational cosmology, which has established that the current universe is expanding with an increasing rate, in contrast to the earlier belief that the rate of expansion is constant or slowing down. This paper represents a model which encompasses both, earlier decelerating and the current accelerating universe, passing through a transition phase. The universe is assumed to be filled with two fluids, barotropic and dark energy. We have considered two cases; first, when these fluids are assumed to be non-interacting and second, when they interact with each other. Some physical, kinematic and geometric properties of the model are also discussed along with the acceptability and stability of the solution. The results found are very compatible with the established results as well as recent observations.

Abstract Heat exchangers are devices that typically transfer heat between two fluids. The performance of a heat exchanger such as heat transfer rate and pressure loss strongly depends on the flow regime in the heat transfer system. In this paper, we present a density-based topology optimization method for a two-fluid heat exchange system, which achieves a maximum heat transfer rate under fixed pressure loss. We propose a representation model accounting for three states, i.e., two fluids and a solid wall between the two fluids, by using a single design variable field. The key aspect of the proposed model is that mixing of the two fluids can be essentially prevented. This is because the solid constantly exists between the two fluids due to the use of the single design variable field. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method through three-dimensional numerical examples in which an optimized design is compared with a simple reference design, and the effects of design conditions (i.e., Reynolds number, Prandtl number, design domain size, and flow arrangements) are investigated.

The purpose of this communication is to discuss the simulation of a free surface compressible flow between two fluids, typically air and water. We use a two fluid model with the same velocity, pressure and temperature for both phases. In such a numerical model, the free surface becomes a thin three dimensional zone. The present method has at least three advantages: (i) the free-surface treatment is completely implicit; (ii) it can naturally handle wave breaking and other topological changes in the flow; (iii) one can easily vary the Equation of States (EOS) of each fluid (in principle, one can even consider tabulated EOS). Moreover, our model is unconditionally hyperbolic for reasonable EOS.

We study the global existence and asymptotic behavior of the solutions for two-fluid compressible isentropic Euler–Maxwell equations by the Fourier transform and energy method. We discuss the case when the pressure for two fluids is not identical, and we also add friction between the two fluids. In addition, we discuss the rates of decay of Lp−Lq norms for a linear system. Moreover, we use the result for Lp−Lq estimates to prove the decay rates for the nonlinear systems.

Abstract A two-fluid boundary layer is considered in the context of a high Reynolds number Poiseuille–Couette channel flow encountering an elongated shallow obstacle. The flow is laminar, steady and two-dimensional, with the boundary layer shown to have the pressure unknown in advance and a specified displacement (a condensed boundary layer). The focus is on the detail of the flow reversal triggered by the obstacle. The interface between the two fluids passes through the boundary layer which, in conjunction with the effects of gravity and distinct densities in the two fluids, leads to several possible topologies of the reversed flow, including a conventional on-wall separation, interior flow reversal above the interface, and several combinations of the two. The effect of upstream influence due to a transverse pressure variation under gravity is mentioned briefly.

The general hydrodynamic behavior at small clearance Reynolds numbers of two fluids of different density and viscosity occupying the finite annular space between a rotating and stationary disk is explored using a simplified version of the Navier-Stokes equations which retains only the centrifugal force portion of the inertia terms. A criterion for selecting the annular flow fields that are compatible with physical reservoirs is established and then used to determine the conditions under which two-fluid flows in the annulus might be expected for specific fluid combinations.

We study spherically symmetric spacetimes for matter distributions with isotropic pressures. We generate new exact solutions to the Einstein field equations which also contain isotropic pressures. We develop an algorithm that produces a new solution if a particular solution is known. The algorithm leads to a nonlinear Bernoulli equation which can be integrated in terms of arbitrary functions. We use a conformally flat metric to show that the integrals may be expressed in terms of elementary functions. It is important to note that we utilise isotropic coordinates unlike other treatments.
