    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...
