A homogenous model study is conducted in which we assumed the heat transfer and forced convective flow of ferrofluids along a flat plate with a uniform wall heat flux. In the direction of transverse to plate, a magnetic field is imposed. Three various magnetic nanoparticle types including Mn-ZnFe204, CoFe204, Fe3O4 are incorporated inside the base fluid. Two types of base fluids （water and kerosene） with bad thermal conductivity as compared to nanoparticles of solid magnetic have been assumed. The mathematical model is tackled via modified Gegenbauer wavelet method （MGWM）. A simulation is accomplished for individual ferrofluid mixture by assuming the prevailing impacts of uniform and slip heat fluxes. The variation of heat transfers and skin friction were also observed at the surface of the plate and we analyzed the better heat transfer for every mixture. Kerosene-based magnetite （Fe304） delivers the better rate of heat transfer at wall due to its association with the kerosene-based Mn-Zn and cobalt ferrites. The slip velocity and magnetic field effects on the temperature, dimensionless velocity, rate of heat transfer and skin friction are examined for various magnetic nanoparticles inside the kerosene oil and water. We observed that the primary influence of magnetic field reduces the dimensionless surface temperature and accelerates the dimensionless velocity as compared to the hydrodynamic case, thus enhancing the rate of heat transfer and skin friction ferrofluids. Moreover, a detailed evaluation of outcomes obtained by MGWM, already published work and numerical RK-4 were found to be in excellent agreement. The error and convergence analysis are presented. Comparison of results,graphical plots, error and convergence analysis reveal the appropriateness of proposed method. The proposed algorithm can be extended for other nonlinear problems.展开更多

In the case of free surface incompressible flows, the FS-model is formally obtained, using formal asymptotic analysis, which is an extension to more classical shallow water models. In the same way, when the pipe is full, we propose the P-model, which describes the evolution of a compressible inviscid flow, close to gas dynamics equations in a nozzle. In order to cope with the transition between a free surface state and a pressured （i.e., compressible） state, we propose a mixed model, the PFS-model, taking into account changes of section and slope variation.展开更多
