Abstract Efficient thermal management in porous media is essential for advanced engineering applications, including solar energy systems, electronic cooling, and aerospace thermal control. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of ternary hybrid nanofluids, TiO₂–CdTe–MoS₂ dispersed in water, flowing over a vertical stretching or shrinking surface in a Darcy–Brinkman porous medium. The investigation accounts for the combined effects of magnetohydrodynamics, thermal radiation, viscous dissipation, and internal heat generation. In contrast to previous studies that predominantly focused on single or binary nanofluids, the present work systematically examines the thermal and hydrodynamic performance of ternary hybrid nanofluids, highlighting their enhanced… More >

Abstract Fluid flow through fractured rock masses is a key process controlling the safety and performance of deep geoengineering systems, shaped by the complex interactions of thermal, hydraulic, mechanical and chemical (THMC) fields. This paper presents a systematic review of this subject with special emphasis on the multi-physics governing it. First, we elucidate the interdependent mechanisms and governing equations, highlighting the nonlinear, path-dependent, and evolving nature of the relationship between stress and permeability. Next, mainstream modeling approaches, including equivalent continuum, discrete fracture network (DFN), and dual-porosity/dual-permeability methods, are critically evaluated, and a strategy for model selection… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract A high-order hybrid numerical framework is developed by coupling a three-stage exponential time integrator with a Runge–Kutta scheme for the efficient solution of partial differential equations involving first-order time derivatives. The proposed scheme attains third-order temporal accuracy and is rigorously validated through stability and convergence analyses for both scalar and coupled systems. Its effectiveness is demonstrated by simulating unsteady Eyring-Prandtl non-Newtonian nanofluid flow over a Riga plate with coupled heat and mass transfer under electromagnetic actuation. The physical model accounts for Brownian motion and thermophoresis, and the nanofluid considered is a Prandtl-type non-Newtonian base fluid… More >

Abstract This study investigates the enhancement of convective heat transfer in a serpentine pipe using ferrofluid flow influenced by dual non-uniform magnetic sources. The primary objective is to improve thermal performance in compact cooling systems, such as those used in heat exchangers. A two-dimensional, steady-state Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) model is developed in ANSYS Fluent to simulate the behavior of an incompressible ferrofluid under applied constant heat flux and magnetic fields. The magnetic force is modeled using the Kelvin force, which acts on magnetized nanoparticles in response to spatially varying electromagnetic fields generated by two strategically… More >

Abstract The present investigation inspects the unsteady, incompressible MHD-induced flow of a ternary hybrid nanofluid made of SiO2 (silicon dioxide), ZnO (zinc oxide), and MWCNT (multi-walled carbon nanotubes) suspended in a water-ethylene glycol base fluid between two perforated squeezing Riga plates. This problem is important because it helps us understand the complicated connections between magnetic fields, nanofluid dynamics, and heat transport, all of which are critical for designing thermal management systems.

Abstract Hybrid nanofluids have gained significant attention for their superior thermal and rheological characteristics, offering immense potential in energy conversion, biomedical transport, and electromagnetic flow control systems. Understanding their dynamic behavior under coupled magnetic, rotational, and reactive effects is crucial for the development of efficient thermal management technologies. This study develops a neuro-fuzzy computational framework to examine the dynamics of a reactive Cu–TiO₂–H₂O hybrid nanofluid flowing through a squarely elevated Riga tunnel.

Abstract Roll coating is a vital industrial process used in printing, packaging, and polymer film production, where maintaining a uniform coating is critical for product quality and efficiency. This work models non-isothermal Carreau fluid flow between a rotating roll and a stationary wall under fixed boundary constraints to evaluate how non-Newtonian and thermal effects influence coating performance. The governing equations are transformed into non-dimensional form and simplified using lubrication approximation theory. Approximate analytical solutions are obtained via the perturbation technique, while numerical results are computed using both the finite difference method and the BVP-Midrich technique.
