    Abstract: The Oldroyd-B constitutive equation is used for the numerical simulation of unsteady incompressible viscoelastic flows. A novelty treatment is presented for the incompressibility constraint of the incompressible viscoelastic flow by using the modified continuity equation which allows using equal-order interpolation polynomials for all variables.

    Abstract: Due to importance of correlation measure in data analysis, some researchers have shown great interest in the concept of correlation measure for extensions of fuzzy sets, in particular, for a new extension known as hesitant fuzzy set (HFS). Recently, an extension of HFS called the weighted hesitant fuzzy set (WHFS) has been developed by Zhang and Wu... Show More

    Abstract: The reduction of the emitted noise pollution from the exhaust system of engines is a real challenge for various industries. At this regard, mufflers have been used to reduce the transmitted noise from the engine of vehicles into the surrounding environment. Mufflers are designed to reflect the sound waves produced by the engine in such a way that t... Show More

    Abstract: A good understanding of the transmission dynamics of disease is necessary to proffer solution(s) to syphilis problem. The aim of this research was to use mathematical modelling to understand the intricacies and different approaches to Syphilis screening on epidemic dynamics and the health of MSM. A non-linear mathematical model for the transmission... Show More
