We provide an explicit analytical solution of the planar Poiseuille flow of a viscoplastic fluid governed by the constitutive equation proposed by De Kee and Turcotte (Chem. Eng. Commun. 6 (1980) 273-282). Formulae for the velocity and the…
A proven methodology to solve multiphase flows is based on the one-fluid formulation of the governing equations, which treats the phase transition across the interface as a single fluid with varying properties and adds additional source…
We advance the computation of physical modal expansions for unsteady incompressible flows. Point of departure is a linearization of the Navier-Stokes equations around its fixed point in a frequency domain formulation. While the most…
This paper concerns autonomous boundary value problems for 1D semilinear hyperbolic PDEs. For time-periodic classical solutions, which satisfy a certain non-resonance condition, we show the following: If the PDEs are continuous with respect…
