On generalised penalty approaches for slip, free surface and related boundary conditions in viscous flow simulation

Yvonne Stokes, Graham Carey

The purpose of this paper is to extend the penalty concept to treat partial slip, free surface, contact and related boundary conditions in viscous flow simulation.

Simulation of convective drying of a cylindrical iron ore pellet

Anna‐Lena Ljung, T. Staffan Lundström, Kent Tano

The purpose of this paper is to numerically model convective drying of a two‐dimensional iron ore pellet subjected to turbulent flow.

Flow in a rapidly rotating cone‐shaped PCR‐tube

Martin Skote, Gustaf E. Mårtensson, Arne V. Johansson

A precise and rapid temperature cycling of a small volume of fluid is vital for an effective DNA replication process using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The purpose of this…

Application of the Exp‐function method for solving a partial differential equation arising in biology and population genetics

Mehdi Dehghan, Jalil Manafian Heris, Abbas Saadatmandi

The purpose of this paper is to use He's Exp‐function method (EFM) to construct solitary and soliton solutions of the nonlinear evolution equation.

Jet impingement onto a laser produced kerf: Influence of kerf thickness on heat transfer and skin friction

Omar A. Melhem, Bekir S. Yilbas, S.Z. Shuja

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the heat transfer rates from the kerf surfaces and skin friction at the kerf wall due to the jet impingement in relation to laser…

Effects of chemical reaction on boundary layer flow past a vertical stretching surface in the presence of internal heat generation

Oluwole Daniel Makinde, Precious Sibanda

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of first‐order homogeneous chemical reaction on a two‐dimensional boundary layer flow past a vertical stretching surface in…
