We used the hypothesis that the geoid of degrees 2–40 is produced by sublithospheric mantle density anomalies that are associated with dynamical process within the mantle. We obtained the model dynamical admittance(the geoid topography ratio based on a convection model) by a numerical simulation of the Venusian mantle convection, and used it to correct the dynamical effect in the calculation of crustal thickness. After deducting the dynamical effect, the thickness of the Venusian crust is presented. The results show that the gravity and topography are strongly correlated with the Venusian mantle convection and the Venusian crust has a significant influence on the topography. The Venusian crustal thickness varies from 28 to 70 km. Ishtar Terra, and Ovda Regio and Thetis Regio in western Aphrodite Terra have the highest crustal thickness(larger than 50 km). The high topography of these areas is thought to be supported by crustal compensation and our results are consistent with the hypothesis that these areas are remnants of ancient continents. The crustal thickness in the Beta, Themis, Dione, Eistla, Bell, and Lada regiones is thin and shows less correlation with the topography, especially in the Atla and Imdr regiones in the eastern part of Aphrodite Terra. This is consistent with the hypothesis that these highlands are mainly supported by mantle plumes. Compared with the crustal thickness calculated with the dynamical effect, our results are more consistent with the crust evolution and internal dynamical process of Venus.展开更多

Analytical expressions for axial velocity, flow rate, fluid acceleration and shear stress are obtained by applying the Laplace and finite Hankel＇s transforms. The velocity profiles for various values of Hartmann number, couple stress parameters and the angle of inclination are shown graphically. Also the effects of body acceleration, Womerseley parameters and permeability parameters have been discussed. The results obtained in the present mathematical model for different values of the parameters involved in the problem show that the flow of blood is influenced by the effect of magnetic field, the porous medium and the inclination angle. The present model is compared with the other existing models. Through this theoretical investigation, the applications of magnetic field have also been indicated in the field of biological, biomedical and engineering sciences.展开更多
