Abstract:
Fluid mechanics is the study of fluids either in motion or at rest. Liquids, gases and plasmas are all classified as fluids. The scope of fluid mechanics is vast and has countless applications in engineering and human activities. Researchers have extensively studied flow models for different geometries influenced by a number of factors including, fluid viscosity, bounding surface characteristics, external forces, boundary conditions, heat transfer analysis for Newtonian, non-Newtonian and nanofluids. The aim of this mini-symposium is to present and discuss recent advances in the physical understanding and applications of fluid flow using theoretical, numerical and experimental approaches.
