In this study, the steady laminar boundary layer flow of micropolar fluids over a wedge has been examined with the constant heat flux boundary condition on the wedge surface. The similarity variables found by Falkner and Skan are employed to reduce the streamwise-dependence in the coupled nonlinear boundary layer equations. Numerical solutions are presented for the heat transfer characteristics using...
In this study, fluid flow behavior in microchannel is examined because of its relevance to the design and development of micro-devices. Previous research has indicated that micropolar fluid theory may provide a better model of fluid flow in microfluidic devices than classical Navier-Stokes theory. An analysis of the plane Couette flow between two parallel plates of a viscous, incompressible, micropolar...
Micron-size mechanical devices are becoming more prevalent, both in commercial applications and in scientific inquiry. Within the last decade, a dramatic increase in research activities has taken place, mostly due to the rapidly expanding growth of applications in areas of MEMS, bioengineering, chemical systems, and advanced energy systems. The effects of vortex viscosity variation on the flow fields...
