Buoyancy and velocity slip effects on squeezing fluid flow conveying ternary hybrid nanoparticles and gyrotactic microorganisms between two circular disks with convective boundary condition

This study investigates the effects of buoyancy and velocity slip on the squeezing flow of a ternary hybrid nanofluid containing Nickel, magnetite, and diamond nanoparticles with gyrotactic microorganisms between two convectively heated circular disks, utilizing the Homotopy Analysis Method and numerical simulations to demonstrate that buoyancy accelerates surface velocity while velocity slip enhances local skin friction, mass transfer, and microorganism density.

Unpinning of trapped oil droplets via non-resonant acoustic streaming in capillary tubes

This paper establishes a self-consistent analytical model demonstrating that trapped oil droplets in capillary tubes can be unpinned and mobilized via non-resonant second-order acoustic streaming, revealing an optimal operational frequency that inversely scales with transmission distance to minimize power requirements while maximizing transport velocity in geological formations.
