On a Generalized Nonlinear K-∊ Model for Turbulence that Models Relaxation Effects

TL;DR: Based on the similarity that exists between the constitutive relations for turbulent mean flow of a Newtonian fluid and that for the laminar flow of non-Newtonian fluid, and making use of extended thermodynamics, the authors developed a generalized nonlinearK-ɛ model.
Journal ArticleDOI

Limit of a collection of dynamical systems: an application to modeling the flow of traffic

TL;DR: A discrete dynamical systems approach is developed that is particularly well suited to describe the dynamics of large systems such as traffic, which are not large enough to be treated as a continuum.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heat transfer in a visco-elastic fluid past a stretching sheet with viscous dissipation and internal heat generation

TL;DR: In this paper, heat transfer characteristics in the laminar boundary layer flow of a visco-elastic fluid over a linearly stretching continuous surface with variable wall temperature subjected to suction or blowing were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the determination of semi-inverse solutions of nonlinear Cauchy elasticity: The not so simple case of anti-plane shear

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic and complete analysis of the overdetermined problem that one obtains while considering the balance equations of unconstrained isotropic nonlinear Cauchy elastic bodies undergoing anti-plane shear deformations is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

On some unresolved issues in non-linear fluid dynamics

TL;DR: In this paper, a discussion of some open problems concerning generalizations of Navier-Stokes fluids and other non-linear fluids, which are in need of thorough investigation, is presented.
