Area of Science:

  • Fluid dynamics
  • Rheology
  • Continuum mechanics

Background:

  • Micropolar fluids exhibit unique characteristics due to microstructure interactions.
  • Understanding fluid flow around geometric shapes is crucial in various engineering applications.
  • Previous models often simplify fluid behavior, necessitating advanced analyses for complex fluids.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically calculate micropolar fluid flow dynamics around spheres and cylinders.
  • To determine explicit velocity fields and drag forces for these flows.

Main Methods:

  • Analytical or numerical methods for solving differential equations governing micropolar fluid flow.
  • Derivation of exact solutions for velocity fields.
  • Calculation of drag forces based on derived velocity profiles.

Main Results:

  • Explicit velocity fields for micropolar fluid flow around spheres and cylinders in 2D and 3D.
  • Quantified drag forces exerted by the micropolar fluid.
  • A steady-state solution for flow inside a cylinder that aligns with experimental findings.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides a comprehensive framework for analyzing micropolar fluid behavior around bluff bodies.
  • The obtained solutions offer valuable data for engineers and researchers working with non-Newtonian fluids.
  • The agreement with experimental results validates the theoretical model for specific flow conditions.
