In this study, we are analyzing the effect of the Hilbert Transform (HT) on diffraction of a plane wave by an oscillating half-plane. Both the incident wave and oscillating half-plane have different oscillating frequencies. After the necessary mathematical computations for several types of time-dependent oscillating functions, it is verified graphically that the HT induces a shift of 90 ∘ , which can be observed from the flipping effect in the magnitude of the sinusoidal components occurring in their respective diffracted fields. Graphical illustrations presenting the effects of the HT are presented and discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The hydrodynamical problem of flow in proximal renal tubule is investigated. Axisymmetric flow of viscous, incompressible fluid through the proximal renal tubule that undergoes linear reabsorption with slip at the wall is considered. The stream function is used to transform the governing equations to system of ordinary differential equations. The analytical solutions for velocity components, pressure distribution, fractional reabsorption and the shear stress are found. The effect of slip parameter and reabsorption rate on the flow have been investigated. The points of extreme values for the axial and radial velocity components are identified. The solution is applied to physiological data from human and rat kidney, and the results are presented in tables and graphs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Physiological transport phenomena often feature ciliated internal walls. Heat, momentum, and multispecies mass transfer may arise and additionally non‐Newtonian biofluid characteristics are common in smaller vessels. Blood (containing hemoglobin) or other physiological fluids containing ionic constituents in the human body respond to magnetic body forces when subjected to external (extracorporeal) magnetic fields. Inspired by such applications, in the present work we have considered the forced convective flow of an electrically conducting viscoelastic physiological fluid through a ciliated channel under the action of a transverse magnetic field. The presence of deposits (fats, cholesterol, etc.) in the channel is mimicked with a Darcy porous medium drag force model. The effect of energy loss is simulated via the inclusion of viscous dissipation in the energy conservation (heat) equation. The velocity, temperature, and pressure distribution are computed in the form of infinite series constructed by Adomian decomposition method and numerically evaluated in a symbolic software (Mathematica). The influence of Hartmann number (magnetic parameter), Jeffrey first and second viscoelastic parameters, permeability parameter (modified Darcy number), and Brinkman number (viscous heating parameter) on velocity, temperature, pressure gradient, and bolus dynamics is visualized graphically.

In this article, a new numerical scheme space Spectral time Fractional Adam Bashforth Moulton method for the solution of fractional partial differential equations is offered. The proposed method is obtained by modifying, in a suitable way; the spectral technique and the method of lines. The attention is focused on the stability properties and hence an elegant stability analysis for the current approach is also provided. Finally, two examples are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the reported method. Obtained results confirm the convergence and spectral accuracy of the proposed method in both space and time. In addition, a comparison with the existing studies is also made as a limiting case of the considered problem at the end and found in good agreement.© 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
