Boundary-Layer & MHD Assumptions

Mathematical Modelling — Fluid Dynamics & Heat TransferContinuum mechanics; boundary-layer similarity theory

Two-dimensional, incompressible, laminar, homogeneous, unsteady flow with a small magnetic Reynolds number. The induced field, Joule heating, and viscous dissipation are omitted from the baseline energy model; there is no slip between phases.

Dimension I

Definition

What it is — and what it is not

What it is not
  • S1No slip between the nanoparticles and the base fluid (single-phase mixture model).
Necessary conditions
  1. S2Two-dimensional, incompressible, laminar, and homogeneous flow.
  2. S3Small magnetic Reynolds number, so the induced magnetic field is neglected.
  3. S4Joule heating σ_hnfB²u² and viscous dissipation τ_xyu_y are both omitted from the baseline energy equation; Lorentz momentum damping remains active.
