We analyze the effect of a rough surface on shear thinning and shear thickening fluids, modeled by power law stress tensors. The roughness is modeled by a small wavelength and small amplitude oscillation, parametrized by eps. We study the…

Slow and dense granular flows often exhibit narrow shear bands, making them ill-suited for a continuum description. However, smooth granular flows have been shown to occur in specific geometries such as linear shear in the absence of…

Boundary layers play an important role in controlling convective heat transfer. Their nature varies considerably between different application areas characterized by different boundary conditions, which hampers a uniform treatment. Here, we…

Interactions between an evolving solid and inviscid flow can result in substantial computational complexity, particularly in circumstances involving varied boundary conditions between the solid and fluid phases. Examples of such…
Surface patterns on ablating materials are observed in high-speed ground and flight tests, but the mechanisms behind their formation are not known. In this paper, the origin of surface patterns is investigated via a local linear stability…
We consider a boundary value problem for the system of equations describing the stationary motion of a viscous nonhomogeneous asymmetric fluid in a bounded planar domain having a $C^2$ boundary. We use a stream-function formulation after…
