This investigation addresses the influence of a buoyancy force on the flow of a couple stress hydromagnetic heat generating fluid across a porous channel with isothermal boundaries. The analytical formulations for the momentum and energy equations are derived to seek the solutions for the rate of fluid momentum, heat transfer and the rate of entropy generation with the use of a well known and efficient series solution of Adomian decomposition method (ADM). The findings are compared with earlier acquired findings for validation and hereby showed the speedy convergence of the series solution. The results showed the substantial influence of inward warmth inside the stream and buoyancy force on the motion and thermal energy of the flow system. Also, the activities of entropy generation generally occur maximally at the centreline of the flow stream with significant reduction with respect to buoyancy force and magnetic field strength.

Fluid flow across a Riga Plate is a specialized phenomenon studied in boundary layer flow and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) applications. The Riga Plate is a magnetized surface used to manipulate boundary layer characteristics and control fluid flow properties. Understanding the behavior of fluid flow over a Riga Plate is critical in many applications, including aerodynamics, industrial, and heat transfer operations.

Electrolyte wettability significantly effects the electrochemical performance of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). In this study, buoyancy testing is employed to accurately measure the force-time curve of electrolyte penetration into the electrodes and thereby calculate the wettability rate. Electrochemical performance is comprehensively evaluated through CR2025 coin half-cell testing, four-point probe analysis, and C-rate cycling experiments.

Designing Leidenfrost Puddles.

Phys Rev Lett

Leidenfrost puddles exhibit erratic bubble bursts that release vapor trapped beneath the liquid, becoming amorphous and unstable. We report a method to stabilize and design a Leidenfrost puddle. When a thin hydrophilic layer with a suitable design is placed over the liquid, the puddle adopts the layer shape due to adhesive forces and becomes stable.

Flow cells are ubiquitous in laboratories and automated instrumentation, and are crucial for ease of sample preparation, analyte addition and buffer exchange. The assumption that the fluids have exchanged completely in a flow cell is often critical to data interpretation. This article describes the buoyancy effects on the exchange of fluids with differing densities or viscosities in thin, circular flow cells.

Active saltwater intrusion (ASWI) accelerates and intensifies salinization due to buoyancy force-induced density differences and concurrent inland fresh groundwater flow. This study investigates saline groundwater (SGW) pumping as a remediation technique for ASWI through experimental and field-scale analyses in a layered aquifer system characterised by diminishing permeability with depth. Experiments demonstrated that higher permeability layers reduced length of intrusion (Ltoe) whereas lower permeability layers restricted vertical displacement.
