An initial value problem concerning the motion of an incompressible, electrically conducting, viscoelastic Oldroyd-B fluid bounded by an infinite rigid non-conducting plate is solved. The unsteady motion is generated impulsively from rest in the fluid due to half rectified sine pulses subjected on the plate in its own plane in presence of an external magnetic field. It is assumed that no external electric field is acting on the system and the magnetic Reynolds number is very small. The operational method is used to obtain exact solutions for the fluid velocity and the shear stress on the wall. Quantitative analysis of the results is presented with a view to disclose the simultaneous effects of the external magnetic field and the fluid elasticity on the flow and the wall shear stress for different periods of pulsation of the plate. It is also shown that the classical and hydromagnetic Rayleigh solutions appear as the limiting cases of the present analysis.
An initial value investigation is made of the motion of an incompressible, viscoelastic, electrically conducting Oldroyd-B fluid bounded by two infinite rigid nonconducting plates. The flow is generated impulsively from rest in the fluid due to rectilinear oscillations of given frequencies superimposed on the plates in their own planes in presence of an external magnetic field acting transversely to the plates. The operational method is used to derive exact solutions for the fluid velocity and the shear stress on the walls. The quantitative evaluation of the results is considered when two plates oscillate in phase but with different frequencies. The results are shown graphically for different time periods of oscillations of the plates which represent the cases: (i) the lower plate oscillates with a time period less than the upper, (ii) both the plates oscillate with the same time period and (iii) the lower plate oscillates with a time period grater than the upper. It is seen that the effect of fluid elasticity on the flow depends on the advancing and retarding motion of the plates. On the other hand, the magnetic field damps the fluid motion for all values of the time period of oscillations of the plates. The drag on the plates, for small and large time, are shown graphically when the time period of oscillation of the lower plate is small. For small values of time, the drag on the lower plate is negative with the amplitude decreasing continuously till the oscillations occur from moderately large values of time. Similar phenomenon also occurs for the drag which is positive at the upper plate for small values of time. In all cases, the amount of drag on the plates increases with the increase of the elasticity of the fluid and the magnetic field. Some particular results for the fluid velocity are derived as special cases of the present solution.
Abstract. Orders and types of entire functions have been actively investigated by many authors. In this paper, we aim at investigating some basic properties in connection with sum and product of relative type and relative weak type of entire functions.
The influx of people towards the cities and urban centre has resulted rapid urbanization across the country. The large rate of urbanization coupled with population migration changed the environmental scenario of many towns & cities very abruptly. Management of municipal solid waste, reduction of air pollution from various sources, water and wastewater management, control and abatement of noise pollution etc are the big challenges. Besides, reckless use of horns and continuous vehicular movement results the noise pollution problem in many cities. The present study is an attempt to evaluate noise pollution load of Agartala city due to urbanization activities and its detrimental effect on the human health and environment. The study also seek a solution from the noise pollution problems of the Agartala City by making certain restriction on the use of sound generating instruments, mass awareness among people and regular enforcement of Noise Pollution (Prevention & Control) Rules 2000.
