Fibre-laden fluids are found in a variety of situations, while Couette devices used for flow spectroscopy long biological molecules, such as DNA and proteins suspension. The presence these fibres can significantly alter the rheology fluid, hence must be incorporated any modelling undertaken. A transversely isotropic fluid treats suspensions continuum with an evolving preferred direction, through modified stress tensor incorporating four viscosity-like parameters. We consider axisymmetric...
Suspensions of self-motile, elongated particles are a topic significant current interest, exemplifying form ‘active matter’. Examples include self-propelling bacteria, algae and sperm, artificial swimmers. Ericksen's model transversely isotropic fluid (Ericksen 1960 Colloid Polym. Sci. 173 , 117–122 ( doi:10.1007/bf01502416 )) treats suspensions non-motile as continuum with an evolving preferred direction; this describes fibrous materials diverse extracellular matrix, textile tufts plant...
Suspended fibres significantly alter fluid rheology, as exhibited in for example solutions of DNA, RNA and synthetic biological nanofibres. It is interest to determine how this altered rheology affects flow stability. Motivated by the fact thermal gradients may occur biomolecular analytic devices, recent stability results, we examine problem Rayleigh–Bénard convection transversely isotropic Ericksen. A treats these suspensions a continuum with an evolving preferred direction, through...
A sensation of fullness in the bladder is a regular experience, yet mechanisms that act to generate this remain poorly understood. This an important issue because clinical problems can result when system does not function properly. The aim study group activity was develop mathematical models describe mechanics filling, and how stretch modulates firing rate afferent nerves. Several were developed, which qualitatively consistent with experimental data obtained from mouse model.

Pressurized oxy-combustion systems are attractive for improving energy efficiency and lowering carbon capture cost. Few studies have been reported on the removal of contaminants impurities, mainly acidic gases, Hg, residual O2, from such pressurized to provide CO2 streams that meet stringent purity requirements required enhanced oil recovery or geological storage. Catalytic treatment approaches promising routes flue gas purification because their potential in processing a large volume with...
