A numerical investigation was conducted to analyze the flow field and heat transfer characteristics in a vertical channel withradiation and blowing from the wall. Hydrodynamic behaviour and heat transfer results are obtained by the solution of the complete Navier–Stokesand energy equations using a control volume finite element method. Turbulent flow with "Low Reynolds Spalart-Allmaras Turbulence Model" and radiation with "Discrete Transfer Radiation Method" had been modeled. In order to have a complete survey, this article has a wide range of study in different domains including velocity profiles at different locations, turbulent viscosity, shear stress, suctioned mass flow rate in different magnitude of the input
Rayleigh number, blowing Reynoldsnumber, radiation parameter, Prandtl number, the ratio of length to width and also ratio of opening thickness to width of the channel. In addition, effects of variation in any of the above non-dimensional numbers on parameters of the flow are clearly illustrated. At the end resultants had been compared with experimental data which demonstrated that in the present study, results have a great accuracy, relative errors are very small and the curve portraits are in a great
agreement with real experiments.

In this paper the Steady flow of a viscous fluid through a porous medium over a fixed horizontal, impermeable and thermally insulated bottom. The flow through the porous medium satisfies the general momentum and energy equations are obtained when the temperature on the fixed bottom and on free surface prescibed. By using Galerkin Method, the expression for Velocity and Drag force are obtained. The Galerkin Method endowed with distinct features that account for its superiority over competing methods. The effect of different parameters on Velocity and Drag force are discussed with the help of graphs.
The convergence and accuracy of the Dynamic
Relaxation (DR) solutions for elastic large deflection
response of isotropic, orthotropic, and laminated plates
are established by comparison with various exact and
approximate solutions. The present Dynamic
Relaxation method (DR) coupled with finite differences
method shows a fairly good agreement with other
analytical and numerical methods used in the verification
scheme.
It was found that: The convergence and accuracy of the
DR solution is dependent on several factors including
boundary conditions, mesh size and type, fictitious
densities, damping coefficients, time increment and
applied load. Also, the DR large deflection program
using uniform finite differences meshes can be
employed in the analysis of different thicknesses for
isotropic, orthotropic or laminated plates under uniform
loads. All the comparison results for simply supported
(SS4) edge conditions showed that deflection is almost
dependent on the direction of the applied load or the
arrangement of the layers.

Nonlinear permanent progressive wave is one of the most important applications in water waves. In this study, analytic formulation of the steep water gravity waves is presented. Abohadima and Isobe [1] showed that Cokelet solution [2] is the most accurate among many other solutions. Due to the nonlinearity of analytic equations, the need to numeric simulation is raised up. In the current paper, consequence numerical models, using one of the artificial intelligence techniques, are designed to simulate and then predict the non linear properties of permanent steep water waves. Artificial Neural Network (ANN), one of the artificial intelligence techniques, is introduced in the current paper to simulate and predict the wave celerity, momentum, energy and other wave integral properties for any permanent waves in water of arbitrary uniform depth. The ANN results presented in the current study showed that ANN technique, with less effort, is very efficiently capable of simulating and predicting the non linear properties of permanent steep water waves.

Abstract This paper describes an analytical approach to describe the areas where Pipes (used for flow of fluids) are mostly susceptible to damage and tries to visualize the flow behaviour in various geometric conditions of a pipe. Fluent software was used to plot the characteristics of the flow and gambit software was used to design the 2D model. Two phase Computational fluid dynamics calculations, using K-epsilon model were employed. This simulation gives the values of pressure and velocity contours at various sections of the pipe in which water as a media. A comparison was made with the sudden and gradual change of pipe diameter (i.e., expansion and contraction of the pipe). The numerical results were validated against experimental data from the literature and were found to be in good agreement. Index Terms: gambit, fluent software.

Asme2009 82287 - Porous Media - Forced Convection FlowHIIO
In this study the flow field and heat transfer properties of a
steady, two-dimensional flow field in a porous domain between
two parallel plates is investigated numerically by using a
discretized numeric code. Analysis has been carried for
Reynolds number based on particle sizes ranging from 60 to
1000. Numerical results are compared with different numerical
methods used for predicting this kind of flow. Results are
obtained for different regime, various p Re numbers and the
effect of Particles size is also investigated. Solutions indicate
that by increasing the
p Re , the flow in the porous media
remains laminar where the flow has turbulence characteristics
for p Re <50. Moreover, by increasing p Re , the value of
average Nusselt number increases. Also, reducing the particle
size affects the Nusselt number and it increases while the
porosity remains the same.
Offshore structures are continuously exposed to extremely varying aerodynamic
and hydrodynamic loads. The storm waves and breaking waves may cause significant
impact on coastal and offshore structures such as vertical sea wall, wind turbines,
LNG carriers and submarine pipelines etc. The prediction of the breaking wave
impact pressure is the important aspect in the design of those structures. The breaking
wave forces produce the highest hydrodynamic loads on substructures in shallow
water, predominantly plunging breaking waves. Owing to the complex and transient
nature of the impact forces it requires more details concerning the physics of breaking
waves and nature of wave interaction with those structures.
In this paper, A Piston-type wave generator was incorporated in the
computational domain to generate waves. Flow 3D was used for simulating 3D
numerical wave tank. The desired breaking waves are simulated using the concept of
wave focusing using Flow 3D solver. These waves are made to impinge on the elastic
circular cylinders of different materials such as PVC, timber and concrete by varying
the support conditions such as cantilever, both ends fixed, inclined support with 30º
inclination. The hydrodynamic response and the structural response are analysed and
validated with the experimental literatures. The maximum impact pressure transpired
on the cylinder due to plunging wave impact from numerical simulation is found to be
eight times of the non-breaking waves

The effect of thermal radiation, viscous dissipation and hall current of the MHD convection flow of the viscous incompressible fluid over a stretched vertical flat plate has been discussed by using regular perturbation and homotophy perturbation technique with similarity solutions. The influence of various physical parameters on velocity, cross flow velocity and temperature of fluid has been obtained numerically and through graphs.
First – order orthotropic shear deformation equations
for the nonlinear elastic bending response of rectangular
plates are introduced. Their solution using a computer
program based on finite differences implementation of the
Dynamic Relaxation (DR) method is outlined. The
convergence and accuracy of the DR solutions for elastic
large deflection response of isotropic, orthotropic, and
laminated plates are established by comparison with various
exact and approximate solutions. The present Dynamic
Relaxation method (DR) coupled with finite differences
method shows a fairly good agreement with other analytical
and numerical methods used in the verification scheme.
It was found that: The convergence and accuracy of the
DR solution is dependent on several factors including
boundary conditions, mesh size and type, fictitious densities,
damping coefficients, time increment and applied load. Also,
the DR large deflection program using uniform finite
differences meshes can be employed in the analysis of
different thicknesses for isotropic, orthotropic or laminated
plates under uniform loads. All the comparison results for
simply supported (SS5) edge conditions showed that
deflection is almost dependent on the direction of the applied
load or the arrangement of the layers

A brief reference to various non-linear forms of relation between hydraulic gradient and velocity of
flow through porous media is presented, followed by the justification of the use of Forchheimer equation. In
order to study the nature of coefficients of this equation, an experimental programme was carried out under
steady state conditions, using a specially designed permeameter. Eight sizes of coarse material and three sizes

parameters of Forchheimer equation are proposed in terms of easily measurable media properties. These
equations are presented in the form of graphs as quick reckoners.

MHD Nanofluid Flow Analysis in a Semi-Porous Channel by a Combined Series Sol...A Behzadmehr
In this paper, Least Square Method (LSM) and Differential Transformation Method (DTM) are used to solve the problem of laminar nanofluid flow in a semi-porous channel in the presence of transverse magnetic field. Due to existence some shortcomings in each method, a novel and efficient method named LS-DTM is introduced which omitted those defects and has an excellent agreement with numerical solution. In the present study, the effective thermal conductivity and viscosity of nanofluid are calculated by Maxwell–Garnetts (MG) and Brinkman models, respectively. The influence of the three dimensionless numbers: the nanofluid volume friction, Hartmann number and Reynolds number on non-dimensional velocity profile are considered. The results show that velocity boundary layer thickness decrease with increase of Reynolds number and nanoparticle volume friction and it increases as Hartmann number increases.

Thermal Energy on Water and Oil placed Squeezed Carreau Nanofluids FlowMOHAMMED FAYYADH
this research work is focused on the numerical study regarding Carreau nanofluids’ squeezed flow via a permeable sensor surface. The nanofluids’ thermal conductivity is considered to be dependent on temperature. A convenient transformation is employed to reorganize governing equations into ordinary differential equations. The Runge–Kutta method and shooting technique are employed to accurately solve the boundary layer momentum as well as heat equations. Graphical and tabular aids are used to evaluate the solutions of applicable parameter with regards to temperature as well as the rate of heat transfer. In this work, a comparison is done from three nanofluids, i.e. copper, oxide aluminum and SWCNTs (nanoparticles) based fluids (water, crude oil and ethylene glycol) to improve heat transfer. It is found that the temperature dimensionless was dropped and dominated with the squeezed flow parameter and nanoparticle volume fraction parameter. That is for all nanomaterials. When compared with water and ethylene glycol, crude oil is cooler and a thinner thermal boundary layer is presented. For the rate of heat transfer (Nusselt number) was higher in: Ethylene glycol- SWCNT with high permeable velocity parameter 0.2, Ethylene glycol- SWCNT with low squeeze flow parameter 0.1 and Ethylene glycol- oxide aluminum with low nanoparticle volume fraction 0.05

Effect of MHD on Jeffery-Hamel Flow in Nanofluids by
Differential Transform Method
J.C. Umavathi, and M. Shekar
Department of Mathematics, Gulbarga University, Gulbarga, Karnataka – 585 106, India
Abstract
In this paper, the problem of Jeffery-Hamel flow of nanofluid with magnetic effect is analyzed. The
basic governing equations which are highly nonlinear are solved analytically using a semi-numerical-analytical
technique called differential transform method (DTM) and numerically using Runge-Kutta shooting method
(RKSM). The principle of differential transformation is briefly introduced, and then applied for the
aforementioned problem. Results for velocity filed in a divergent channel are presented for various values of
nanoparticle solid volume fraction, Hartmann number and Reynolds number. The values obtained by DTM and
RKSM are agree to the order of 10 -5. Further the values obtained by DTM are justified by comparing with the
values obtained by Moghimi et al. [1,2] and Sheikholeslami et al. [3] and the values agree to the order of 10 -5,
10-5 and 10-4 respectively.
Keywords: Jeffery-Hamel flow, MHD, nanofluid, Differential Transform method.
I.
INTRODUCTION:
The study of flows in converging/diverging
channel is very important due to its engineering and
industrial applications. Such applications include
exchanging heat transfer of heat exchangers for milk
flowing, cold drawing operation in polymer industry,
extrusion of molten polymers through converging
dies, pressure driven transport of particles through a
symmetric converging/diverging channel and many
others [4-6]. The well known Jeffery-Hamel problem
deals with the flow of an incompressible viscous
fluid between the non-parallel walls. This flow
situation was initially formulated by Jeffery [7] and
Hamel [1]. Later, this problem is extensively studied
by the various researchers. A survey of information
on this can be found in the references [6,8]. Apart
from using numerical methods, the Jeffery-Hamel
flow problem was solved by other techniques
including the Homotopy analytical method (HAM),
the Homotopy perturbation method (HPM), the
Adomain decomposition method (ADM) and the
spectral-Homotopy analysis method. Recently, the
three analytical methods such as Homotopy analysis
method, Homotopy perturbation method and
Differential transformation method (DTM) were used
by Joneidi et al. [9] to find the analytical solution of
Jeffery-Hamel flow.
A large number of theoretical investigations
dealing with magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows of
viscous fluids have been performed during the last
decades due to their rapidly increasing applications in
many fields of technology and engineering, such as
MHD power generation, MHD flow meters, and
MHD pumps [10]. Many mathematic models have
been proposed to explain the behavior of the viscous
MHD flow under different conditions [11–14]. The
www.ijera.com
classical Jeffery–Hamel problem was extended in
[15] to include the effects of external magnetic field
on conducting fluid. Motsa et al. [16] found the
solution of the nonlinear equation for the MHD
Jeffery–Hamel problem by using novel hybrid
spectral-homotopy analysis. Recently, Moghimi et al.
[1] studied the MHD Jeffery–Hamel flows in nonparallel walls by using homotopy analysis method.
Moghimi et al. [2] also solved the Jeffery–Hamel
flow problem by using the homotopy perturbation
method. More recently, the effects of magnetic field
and nanoparticle on the Jeffery-Hamel flow using a
powerful analytical method called the Adomian
decomposition
method
were
studied
by
Sheikholeslami et al. [3].
Nanoparticles are made from various
materials, such as oxide ceramics (Al2O3, CuO),
nitride ceramics (AlN, SiN), carbide ceramics (SiC,
TiC), metals (Cu, Ag, Au), semiconductors, carbon
nanotubes and composite materials such as alloyed
nanoparticles. Nanofluids consist of a base fluid and
ultrafine nanoparticles aim to achieve the maximum
possible thermal properties at the minimum possible
concentrations (preferably<1% by volume) by
uniform dispersion and stable suspension of
nanoparticles (preferably<10 nm) in host fluids [17].
Many studies on nanofluids are being conducted by
scientists and engineers due to their diverse technical
and biomedical applications. Examples include
nanofluid coolant: electronics cooling, vehicle
cooling, transformer cooling, super powerful and
small computers cooling and electronic devices
cooling; medical applications: cancer therapy and
safer surgery by cooling and process industries;
materials and chemicals: detergency, food and drink,
oil and gas. Ultra high-performance cooling is

necessary for many industrial technologies. However,
poor thermal conductivity is a drawback in
developing energy-efficient heat transfer fluids
necessary for ultra high–performance cooling.
Numerous models and methods were proposed by
different authors to study convective flows of
nanofluids, and we mention here the papers by Choi
[18]. Duangthongsuk and Wongwises [19], Yacob et
al. [20], etc.
The concept of differential transformation
was first proposed by Zhou [21] in solving linear and
nonlinear initial valued problems in electrical circuit
analysis. Later Chen and Ho [22] applied the
differential transformation method to second order
eigen-value problems and the transverse vibration of
a twisted beam under axial loading. The differential
transform method obtains a semi-analytical solution
in the form of a polynomial. It is different from the
traditional higher order Taylor’s series method,
which requires symbolic competition of the necessary
derivatives of the functions. The Taylor series
method is computationally taken long time for large
orders. With this method, it is possible to obtain
highly accurate results or exact solutions for
differential equations. This method is well-addressed
in [23–26].
The aim of this paper is to introduce the
differential transform technique as an alternative to
existing methods in solving singular two-point
boundary value problems. To our knowledge, the
combined effect of nanoparticles and magnetic field
in the Jeffery-Hamel flow problem using DTM is not
addressed yet.

Basic Idea of Differential transformation
method (DTM)
Suppose u y is analytic in a domain D,
then it will be differentiated continuously with
respect to y in the domain of interest. The
differential transform of function u y is defined as
k

k ! dy k y 0
(11)
where u y is the original function and U k is the
transformed function which is called the T-function.
The differential inverse transform of U k
is defined as follows:
u y U k y k

k 0
In real applications, the function u y by a
finite series of (12) can be written as

decided by a convergence of the series coefficients.

Convergence of DTM solution
The validation of the present results has
been verified with the classical case of a Newtonian
fluid ( 0 ), see Moghimia et al. [1,2] and
Sheikholeslami et al. [3]. Also the convergence of the
present method is observed by comparing our results
with those of numerical method using the RungeKutta shooting method (RKSM). The nondimensional velocity F for different values of
Reynolds number Re , Hartmann number M and
angle between the plates are shown in Tables 3–5.
These tables agree very well the results between
DTM-RKSM, DTM-HAM (Moghimi et al. [1]),
DTM-HPM (Moghimi et al. [2]) and DTM-ADM
(Sheikholeslami et al. [3]). In particular, Table 6
gives a snap shot of the velocity values at different
points inside the diverging channel while Table 6
also demonstrates on the convergence rate of the
DTM. In general, fifteen terms of the DTM
approximation are sufficient to give a match with the
numerical results up to five decimal places. This table
shows that the DTM converges more easily for these
type problems. The numerical results of copper-water
nanofluid with and without magnetic effect are
presented in Table 7 obtained by DTM and RKSM
which show a favorable agreement, thus give
confidence that the results obtained are accurate.
Moreover, the values of F are presented in Table
7 is for future reference also.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:
The problem of Jeffery-Hamel flow of
nanofluid with high magnetic field is discussed in a
divergent channel. The governing equation for the
posed problem is highly nonlinear and hence closed
form solutions cannot be obtained. The objective of
this work is to find the solutions of the Jeffery-Hamel
flow by DTM and estimating the order of error. This
paper also highlights the solution procedure of DTM.
The graphical results depicted in Figs. 2–6
are broadly in line with those given in [6] but now
modified for nanofluid by the effects of the applied
magnetic field. Numerical simulations show that for
fixed Hartmann numbers, the fluid velocity decreases
with Reynolds numbers in divergent channel.
Figure 2 display the velocity profiles for
silver (Ag), copper (Cu), Diamond, TiO2 and SiO2
nanoparticles. It is observed that the values for silver
and copper show closer values and Diamond, TiO2
and SiO2 are also close to each other. The optimal
velocity is observed for SiO2 nanoparticle and
minimal is for silver nanoparticle.
The result obtained for different solid
volume fraction is illustrated in Fig. 3. As the solid
volume fraction increases the fluid velocity
decreases. That is, the fluid velocity is more for base
fluid 0 and less for nanofluid. Physically
speaking, as the nanoparticles add to the pure fluid
the density of the fluid increases and then the fluid
becomes denser, so that it can have more difficult
movement through the channel.
Figure 4 predicts the magnetic effect
(Hartmann number M ) of viscous fluid and
nanofluid on the velocity for divergent channel with
fixed Reynolds number. The results show moderate
increases in the velocity with increasing Hartmann
number for both viscous and nanofluid and, in line
with observations for viscous fluid 0 , no back
flow is observed for all Hartmann numbers. It can be
seen in Fig. 4 that without magnetic field M 0 at
5o and Re 50 backflow starts, with Hartmann
number increasing this phenomenon is eliminated. By
increasing Reynolds number, the backflow expands
so greater magnetic field is needed in order to
eliminate it.
Figure 5 illustrates the effect of Reynolds
number Re on the fluid velocity for fixed Hartmann
number for both viscous fluid and nanofluid. As
Reynolds number increases the fluid velocity
www.ijera.com
www.ijera.com
decreases for both viscous and nanolfuids. Here also
back flow is excluded for small Reynolds number
and it observed for large Reynolds.
Figure 6 give a comparison between the
DTM and the numerical approximations (RKSM) for
various values of . Of particular note here is that
an exact match between the two set of approximate
solutions is obtained with only fifteen terms of the
DTM solution series. These findings firmly establish
the DTM as an accurate and efficient alternative to
the other semi-analytical methods. We also observed
from Fig. 5 that as the angle between the plates
increases the fluid velocity increases.

CONCLUSIONS:
In this paper we have used the DTM to find
the analytical solution of magnetohydrodynamic
Jeffry-Hamel flow problem in the nanofluid. It was
found that DTM is a powerful method for solving
problems consisting 3rd order nonlinear differential
equations. A reliable algorithm is presented based on
the DTM to solve highly nonlinear equations. A
comparison was made between the available results
of obtained by different methods such as Homotopy
analytical method, Homotopy perturbation method
and Adomian decomposition method solutions,
numerical results from the RKSM and the present
approximate solutions. The numerical study indicates
that the DTM gives more accurate in comparison to
shown methods. The method has been applied
directly
without
requiring
linearization,
discretization, or perturbation. The obtained results
certify the reliability of the algorithm and give it a
wider applicability to nonlinear differential
equations. The influence of various physical
parameters on the velocity was discussed in detail.
The basic conclusions are as follows:
Increasing Reynolds numbers leads to decreases
the velocity field.
Increasing Hartmann number will lead to
backflow reduction.
Also the results show that fluid velocity of
nanofluid is less when compared to fluid without
nanoparticles.
The results obtained in this paper are nearly
similar to the results obtained by Sheikholeslami
et al. [3] in the absence of different
nanoparticles.
