Newtonian flow with nonlinear Navier boundary condition
The generalized nonlinear Navier boundary condition advocated by Thompson and Troian in the journal Nature, and motivated from molecular dynamical simulations, is applied to the conventional continuum mechanical ...

Modelling the Thermal Conductivity of Nanofluids
The interaction of nano particulates with conventional materials generally has the effect of dramatically changing all the physical parameters of the material, which normally characterize the bulk material. Th...

Perturbation solutions for flow through symmetrical hoppers with inserts and asymmetrical wedge hoppers
Under certain circumstances, an industrial hopper which operates under the “funnel-flow” regime can be converted to the “mass-flow” regime with the addition of a flow-corrective insert. This paper is concerned...

A formal exact mathematical solution for a slo** rat-hole in a highly frictional granular solid
This paper provides a formal exact analytical solution to a rat-hole with a slo** base in two and three dimensions for a highly frictional granular material. A rat-hole is the general term used to describe t...

Analytical stress and velocity fields for gravity flows of highly frictional granular materials
For granular materials the Coulomb-Mohr yield condition characterizes the two physical processes of inter-particle cohesion and inter-particle friction. The latter effect is quantified by the so-called angle o...

Rat-hole stress profiles for shear-index granular materials
The formation of stable circular and almost vertical cylindrical holes in stockpiles and hoppers is a familiar phenomena in granular material industries and is often the cause of serious disruption to the indu...

Non-dilatant double-shearing theory applied to dynamical granular chute flow
The non-dilatant double-shearing theory for granular flow is applied to the problem of dynamical chute flow down an inclined slope. Four distinct families of solutions are examined and a number of simple exact...

The Double-Shearing Velocity Equations for Dilatant Shear-Index Granular Materials
Modelling the flow of a granular material constitutes one of the outstanding problems of continuum mechanics, for which there is little general agreement on the governing mathematical equations. This is becaus...

Dilatant double shearing theory applied to granular chute flow
Although the steady flow of a granular material down a plane inclined slope has been exhaustively examined from both theoretical and experimental points of view, there is still no general agreement concerning ...

On a nonlinear stefan problem arising in the continuous casting of steel
The continuous casting process employed in the steel industry is a many faceted “big” industrial problem which has given rise to many sub-problems. Here, we examine the problem involving the determination of t...

Utilization of nonlinear diffusion solutions forn-diffusion and power-law materials
The equation ofn-diffusion, as originally formulated by J. R. Philip for various problems involving unsteady turbulent flows, applies directly to the one-dimensional flow of a non-Newtonian power-law fluid as wel...

Integral formulations and bounds for two phase Stefan problems initially not at their fusion temperature
The classical two phase Stefan problems for spheres, cylinders and slabs do not, in general, admit exact solutions. For a number of genuine two phase moving boundary problems involving these geometries integra...

On the solution of boundary value problems for fourth order diffusion
Higher order non-Fickean diffusion theories involve solving a fourth order linear partial differential equation. The purpose of this paper is to indicate available methods for the solution of typical boundary ...
