Numerical Simulation in Micropolar Fluid Dynamics

Numerical Simulation in Micropolar Fluid Dynamics presents a detailed study of various multi-physical flow problems of micropolar non-Newtonian fluids. A comprehensive overview of modern micropolar fluid mechanics and applications is provided. A number of powerful numerical methods including finite element methods, homotopy analysis methods, network simulation and differential transform methods are then applied to specific steady flow scenarios. Magnetohydrodynamic, double-diffusive convection, magneto-tribological, stagnation point, chemically-reacting and enclosure flows are all studied. Extensive details of numerical analysis are provided. It is hoped that this monograph will stimulate further research in related fields.
