A finite element analysis for porous media is aimed. In the thesis, it is accepted that groundwater flow occurs only in the saturated region of a porous soil. The problem is formulated based on Darcy's law governing ...

The objective of the thesis is to demonstrate an application of radial basis functions method to linear and nonlinear advection-diffusion and viscoelastic flow problems. As far as the radial basis functions method is ...

This study investigates convective laminar flow and heat transfer of alumina-water nanofluid inside a circular minichannel subjected to constant heat flux and wall temperature. The results of numerical studies on non-homogeneous ...

In this study, thermal and rheological behavior of nanofluids prepared with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) nanoparticles is the main interest. hBN is a ceramic material with high thermal conductivity and superior chemical ...

In this study, the e ects of magnetic eld applications are investigated on ferromagnetic ow around cylinder. The analyses are made for Newtonian and non- Newtonian ow types. In order to investigate the non-Newtonian ...

The aim of this thesis is to develop a numerical solution to the lid driven cavityproblem in plane and curved geometries for both Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. The planar case is the lid-driven square cavity problem ...

The aim of this study is to provide insight to how pulsatile hemodynamics varies with rheology of blood and blood vessel elasticity in case of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Fluid-solid interaction method with arbitrary ...

Although it is a well-known fact that dilute solutions obtained by adding a small amount of polymer or surfactant to Newtonian fluids lead to a reduction in friction factor and drag coefficient at high Reynolds number ...

Macroscopic modeling of nanofluids is necessary for design and analysis of equipment that rely on nanofluids. For the moment, there is no study that covers recent state-of-the-art nanofluid models, and compares their ...

This study focuses on the flow and heat transfer properties of dilute poly mer/surfactant solutions using Newtonian, and inelastic/elastic non-Newtonian con stitutive models. The results are discussed in terms of drag and ...
