Journal ArticleDOI
Flow and stability of a second grade fluid between two parallel plates rotating about noncoincident axes
TL;DR: An exact solution for the flow of a second grade fluid between two infinite parallel plates rotating about non-coincident axes normal to the plates is given in this article, where the stability of the above flow is investigated for disturbances of finite amplitude.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global existence of solutions for flows of fluids with pressure and shear dependent viscosities
TL;DR: The flow of fluids whose viscosity depends on both the pressure and the symmetric part of the velocity gradient is studied and the shear thinning nature of the fluid can be gainfully exploited to obtain global existence of solution, which would not be possible otherwise.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Note on Plane Strain and Plane Stress Problems for a New Class of Elastic Bodies
TL;DR: In this paper, the consequences of prescribing constitutive relations for elastic bodies where deformations are given as functions of stresses are explored, and boundary value problems for plane strain and plane stresses are studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
A thermodynamic basis for the derivation of the Darcy, Forchheimer and Brinkman models for flows through porous media and their generalizations
TL;DR: In this paper, a general thermodynamic framework was used to obtain popular models due to Darcy and Brinkman and their generalizations, to describe flow of fluids through porous solids.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the nature of constraints for continua undergoing dissipative processes
TL;DR: In this article, it is usual in continuum mechanics to enforce ideas that stem from the seminal work of Bernoulli and D'Alembert and require that internal constraints do no...
