Abstract Acoustic radiation and propagation characteristics of underwater elastic structures are an organic whole, which should be considered comprehensively. Based on the three-dimensional sono-elasticity theory of ships, the integrated calculation method of acoustic radiation and propagation in ocean environment is realized by using the simple source boundary integral equation. The correctness and accuracy of the method are verified by a series of examples. Based on the domestic supercomputer platform, the parallel transformation of the algorithm is completed, and the two-level multi-core parallel is realized, which greatly improves the computing efficiency. The application of acoustic radiation calculation in composite structures is carried… More >

Abstract Background: Phototherapies based on sunlight, infrared, ultraviolet, visible, and laser-based treatments present advantages like high curative effects, small invasion, and negligible adverse reactions in cancer treatment. We aimed to explore the potential therapeutic effects of blue light emitting diode (LED) in human hepatoma cells and decipher the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms. Methods: Wound healing and transwell assays were employed to probe the inhibition of the invasion and migration of hepatocellular carcinoma cells in the presence of blue LED. The sphere-forming test was used to evaluate the effect of LED blue light irradiation on cancer stem cell properties. Immunofluorescence and… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract This paper investigates momentum, heat and mass transfer characteristics of a hydromagnetic Newtonian dusty fluid flow due to a rotating disk with radiation and viscous dissipation. The main objective of this paper is to study effects of temperature dependent viscosity and thermal conductivity on flow, temperature and species concentration. Radiation and viscous dissipation effects are also taken into account. Saffman model for dusty fluid is considered for the problem. The partial differential equations governing the flow are converted into ordinary differential equations employing similarity transformations. The resulting highly nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations are solved numerically using shooting technique with… More >

Abstract In this paper, the effects of suction/blowing and thermal radiation on a hydromagnetic viscous fluid over a non-linear stretching and shrinking sheet are investigated. A similarity transformation is used to reduce the governing equations to a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The system of equations is solved analytically employing homotopy analysis method (HAM). Convergence of the HAM solution is checked. The resulting similarity equations are solved numerically using Matlab bvp4c numerical routine. It is found that dual solutions exist for this particular problem. The comparison of analytical solution and numerical solution for the velocity profile is an excellent agreement. More >

Abstract Infrared radiation is a type of electromagnetic radiation and invisible to human eyes. It is used widely in industrial, scientific, and medical applications. Pool fire is an emergent accident, which emits intense thermal radiation. In order to quantify the performance of water curtain fighting fire, a testing platform is built and experimental studies are carried out. An infrared imager is used to acquire real-time experimental data and respond to the variations of flame in time and space dimensions. Experimental principles and operating procedures are described in detail. The transmissivity is used to quantify the performance of water curtain fighting fire.… More >

Abstract Nowadays external magnetic fields are capable of setting the thermal and physical properties of magnetic-nanofluids and regulate the flow and heat transfer characteristics. The strength of the applied magnetic field affects the thermal conductivity of magnetic nanofluids and makes it aeolotropic. With this incentive, we investigate the flow and heat transfer of electrically conducting liquid film flow of Carreau nanofluid over a stretching sheet by considering the aligned magnetic field in the presence of space and temperature dependent heat source/sink and viscous dissipation. For this study, we considered kerosene as the base fluid embedded with the silver (Ag) and copper… More >

Abstract In this article, we analyzed the second law of thermodynamics applied to an electrically conducting incompressible water based nanofluid flow over a stretching sheet in the presence of thermal radiation and uniform heat generation/absorption both analytically and numerically. The basic boundary layer equations are non-linear PDEs which are converted into non-linear ODEs using scaling transformation. The dimensionless governing equations for this investigation are solved analytically using hypergeometric function and numerically by the fourth order Runge Kutta method with shooting iteration technique. The effects of partial slip parameter with the nanoparticle volume fraction, magnetic parameter, radiation parameter, uniform heat generation/absorption parameter,… More >

Abstract A study has been carried out to analyse an unsteady free convective chemically reacting, MHD Visco-elastic fluid (Walter’s liquid-B model) flow past an infinite vertical plate in the presence of thermal radiation with uniform temperature and species diffusion.

Abstract This paper studies the combined effects of Soret (thermal-diffusion) and Dufour (diffusion-thermo) on magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) boundary layer flow of a Jeffrey fluid past a stretching surface with chemical reaction and heat source. Using the similarity transformations, the governing equations are transformed into a set of non-linear ordinary differential equations (ODE’s). The resulting equations are then solved numerically by using the shooting method along with Runge-Kutta fourth order integration scheme. Numerical results for the velocity, temperature and concentration distributions as well as the skin-friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are discussed in detail and displayed graphically for various physical parameters.… More >
