This study presents the investigations on the effect of heat transfer on droplet formation in T-type microfluidic channel. Mineral oil acts as a continuous phase, and water acts as a dispersed phase. The Volume of Fluid model is used to investigate the formation of droplets of water in oil in the microchannel. The physical properties of both fluids change with an increase in temperature of dispersed phase, of which the dominant properties are viscosities of fluids and interfacial tension. The parameters such as droplet diameter, distance between two consecutive droplets and detachment time were studied with respect to temperature in the range of 300 K to 325 K. These properties are also studied at different flow rate ratios 0.125, 0.25, and 0.5. The distance between two consecutive droplets was found to decrease with the increase in temperature due to the rapid motion of droplets in the temperature zone. The droplet detachment time also decreases, due to the decrease in interfacial forces which hold the droplets in the dispersed phase. The droplet diameter decreases initially with the increase in temperature, but it was observed that after 320 K the diameter of the droplet increases due to the coalescence of two consecutive droplets downstream in the microchannel. This temperature is reported as a limiting condition for thermally controlled water-in-oil microemulsions.

The current work is devoted to investigating the disease dynamics and numerical modeling for the delay diffusion infectious rabies model. To this end, a non-linear diffusive rabies model with delay count is considered. Parameters involved in the model are also described. Equilibrium points of the model are determined and their role in studying the disease dynamics is identified. The basic reproduction number is also studied. Before going towards the numerical technique, the definite existence of the solution is ensured with the help of the Schauder fixed point theorem. A standard result for the uniqueness of the solution is also established. Mapping properties and relative compactness of the operator are studied. The proposed finite difference method is introduced by applying the rules defined by R.E. Mickens. Stability analysis of the proposed method is done by implementing the Von–Neumann method. Taylor’s expansion approach is enforced to examine the consistency of the said method. All the important facts of the proposed numerical device are investigated by presenting the appropriate numerical test example and computer simulations. The effect of τ on infected individuals is also examined, graphically. Moreover, a fruitful conclusion of the study is submitted.

In this article, a numerical model for a Brusselator advection–reaction–diffusion (BARD) system by using an elegant numerical scheme is developed. The consistency and stability of the proposed scheme is demonstrated. Positivity preserving property of the proposed scheme is also verified. The designed scheme is compared with the two well-known existing classical schemes to validate the certain physical properties of the continuous system. A test problem is also furnished for simulations to support our claim. Prior to computations, the existence and uniqueness of solutions for more generic problems is investigated. In the underlying system, the nonlinearities depend not only on the desired solution but also on the advection term that reflects the pivotal importance of the study.

The article studies the extraction of electromagnetic wave structures in a spin ladder anti-ferromagnetic medium with a coupled generalized non-linear Schrodinger model. The direct algebraic technique is used to extract the wave solutions. The solutions are obtained in the form of dark, singular, kink, and dark-singular under different constraint conditions. Moreover, the dynamic behavior of the structures have depicted in 3D graphs and their corresponding counterplots. The results are helpful for the understanding of wave propagation study and are also vital for numerical and experimental verifications in the field of electromagnetic wave theory.

In this article, an implicit numerical design is formulated for finding the numerical solution of spatiotemporal nonlinear dynamical system with advection. Such type of problems arise in many fields of life sciences, mathematics, physics and engineering. The epidemic model describes the population densities that have some special types of features. These features should be maintained by the numerical design. The proposed scheme, not only solves the nonlinear physical system but also preserves the structure of the state variables. Von-Neumann criteria, M-matrix theory and Taylor’s expansion are used for proving some standard results. Basic reproduction number is evaluated and its key role in deciding the stability at the equilibrium points is also investigated. Graphical solutions are also presented against the test problem.

The gist behind this study is to extend the classical computer virus model into fractal fractional model and subsequently to solve the model by Atangana-Toufik method. This method solve nonlinear model under consideration very efficiently. We use the Mittag-Leffler kernels on the proposed model. Atangana-Baleanu integral operator is used to solve the set of fractal-fractional expressions. In this model, three types of equilibrium points are described i.e trivial, virus free and virus existing points. These fixed points are used to establish some standard results to discuss the stability of the system by calculating the Jacobian matrices at these points. Routh-Hurwitz criteria is used to verify that the system is locally asymptotically stable at all the steady states. The emphatic role of the basic reproduction number R 0 is also brought into lime light for stability analysis. Sensitivity analysis of R 0 is also discussed. Optimal existence and uniqueness of the solution is the nucleus of this study. Computer simulations and patterns and graphical patterns illustrate reliability and productiveness of the proposed method.
