Mathematical modeling and simulation for the flow of magneto-Powell-Eyring fluid in an annulus with concentric rotating cylinders

Abstract The rheological fluid flows through concentric rotating cylinders have wide range of applications in many machinary parts such as axles and shafts to spinning projectiles. Whenever, the rotating motion connected with the discs, the proximity of a surface may be remarkably change the structure of the flow. The main purpose of this study is to discuss the motion of Powell-Eyring fluid between two concentric rotating cylinders. We formulated the problem in cylindrical coordinate system with suitable boundary conditions. The existence and uniqueness of the solution for the equation governing the flow is provided with the help of Schauder’s fixed point theorem. The velocity distribution is obtained by Mathematica software. The numerical results are presented for the sundry parameters through graphical representations. It is depicted from our analysis that, the velocity is an increasing function of rotation parameter and Powell-Eyring fluid parameter. The present analysis has wide range of applications in engineering sciences.
