Abstract
AbstractRotational flow has numerous applications across a wide range of fields, including industrial processes for mixing, pumping, and processing materials, geophysical fluid dynamics for studying the Earth's atmosphere and oceans, aerospace engineering for designing and testing aircraft and spacecraft, medical imaging for creating detailed images of the human body, and environmental engineering for studying the transport of pollutants in water and air. In rotational flow, pumping power is an important parameter that measures the amount of energy required to maintain the flow of the fluid in a rotating frame. It is significant because the presence of the Coriolis force and other rotational effects can substantially alter the fluid dynamics, making it difficult to maintain a steady flow. The present study deals with the flow of micropolar dusty fluid in a rotating frame under the influence of the magnetic field, applied transversely to the flow in a horizontal channel. The fluid is induced to flow between two parallel plates by the movement of the upper plate and a constant pressure gradient. A meshless radial basis function pseudospectral approach is employed to derive a set of partial differential equations that determine the primary and secondary velocity profiles of the fluid, as well as the particle and microrotation velocities and temperature distribution. The pumping power required to sustain the flow in the absence of a pressure gradient is also calculated based on these velocity profiles. The findings provide valuable insights into the behavior of micropolar dusty fluids in a rotational channel and can potentially inform the design of industrial processes involving such fluids.
