Nonlinear stability of high Lewis number combustion fronts
Indiana University Mathematics Journal, 2009 In this paper a mathematical model is considered that describes combustion processes characterized by a very high Lewis number. The model is known to support a wavefront that asymptotically connects the completely burned and the unburned states, and that is unique up to translation.

On the onset of thermosolutal instability in a layer of an elastico-viscous nanofluid in porous medium [PDF]
FME Transactions, 2014 The thermosolutal instability problem in a horizontal layer of an elasticoviscous nanofluid in porous medium is considered. Walters' (model B') fluid model is employed to describe the rheological behavior of the nanofluid and for the porous medium, the ...

Manipulating the Lewis antigen specificity of the cholesterol-dependent cytolysin lectinolysin
Frontiers in Immunology, 2012 The cholesterol-dependent cytolysins (CDCs) attack cells by punching large holes in their membranes. Lectinolysin from Streptococcus mitis is unique among CDCs due to the presence of an N-terminal lectin domain that enhances the pore-forming activity of ...

On the Onsetof Thermal Instability in a Low Prandtl Number Nanofluid Layer in a Porous Medium
Journal of Applied Fluid Mechanics, 2015 Thermal instability in a low Prandtl number nanofluid in a porous medium is investigated by using Galerkin weighted residuals method for free-free boundaries. For porous medium, Brinkman-Darcy modelis applied.
