In this paper, we derive a dispersion relation for sound waves in viscous and heat conducting fluids. In particular this dispersion (i.e. variation of speed of sound with frequency) is shown to be of second order of magnitude, w.r.t.…
Uncertainties plays an important character in almost every problem which generally not considered and ideal cases are studied. As such, the consequences cost more and need model prediction. In view of these, this paper investigates…
This study deals with a simple pure fluid whose temperature is slightly below its critical temperature and whose density is nearly critical, so that the gas and liquid phases coexist. Under equilibrium conditions, such a liquid completely…

The Brinkman equation has found great popularity in modelling the interfacial flow between free fluid and a porous medium. However, it is still unclear how to determine an appropriate effective Brinkman viscosity without resolving the flow…

The Lorentz reciprocal theorem -- that is used to study various transport phenomena in hydrodynamics -- is violated in chiral active fluids that feature odd viscosity with broken time-reversal and parity symmetries. Here we show that the…
Diffusion of a solute along a channel is enhanced by hydrodynamic flow, a phenomenon known as Taylor dispersion. In microfluidic applications, the compliance of the channel boundaries modifies the hydrodynamic flow and thus solutal…
