The effects of wall properties on the peristaltic flow of an incompressible pseudoplastic fluid in a curved channel are investigated. The relevant equations are modeled. Long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximations are adopted. The stream function and axial velocity are derived. The variations of the embedding parameters into the problem are carefully discussed. It is noted that the velocity profiles are not symmetric about the central line of the curved channel.

Effects of wall properties and slip condition on the peristaltic flow of an incompressible pseudoplastic fluid in a curved channel are studied. Series solution of the governing problem is obtained after applying long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximations. The results are validated with the numerical solutions through the built-in routine for solving nonlinear boundary value problems via software Mathematica. The variations of different parameters on axial velocity are carefully analyzed. Behaviors of embedding parameters on the dimensionless stream function are also discussed. It is noted that the axial velocity and size of trapped bolus increases with an increase in slip parameter. It is also observed that the profiles of axial velocity are not symmetric about the central line of the curved channel which is different from the case of planar channel.

This study is concerned with the peristaltic flow of a viscous fluid in a curved channel. Mathematically the problem is governed by two partial differential equations. Closed form solutions of the stream function, axial velocity, and pressure gradient are developed under long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions. The influence of curvature is analyzed on various flow quantities of interest.

The aim of the present analysis is to discuss the mixed convective peristaltic flow of shear thinning hyperbolic tangent fluid under the effects of nanoparticles in a curved channel. The model considered for the nanofluid is to analyze the effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis parameter. The problem is formulated under the assumptions of long wavelength and low Reynolds number and then solved analytically using the homotopy perturbation method (HPM). The substantial features of related parameters are examined by sketching graphs. The most important observation of the analysis is that the velocity profiles are not symmetric about the central line of the curved channel.

This paper discusses the effects of wall properties on the peristaltic flow of an incompressible third grade fluid in a curved channel. Series solution is obtained under the approximation of long wavelength and low Reynolds number. Relation of stream function is derived. The variations of the interesting parameters entering into the problem are carefully analyzed. It is observed that the velocity profiles are not symmetric about the central line of the curved channel. Moreover, the bolus size increases with an increase in the curvature parameter in the upper half of the channel. Whereas it is found to decrease upon increasing the curvature parameter in the lower half of the channel.

The present investigation deals with the peristaltic flow of an incompressible Johnson–Segalman fluid in a curved channel. Effects of the channel wall properties are taken into account. The associated equations for peristaltic flow in a curved channel are modeled. Mathematical analysis is simplified under long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions. The solution expressions are established for small Weissenberg number. Effects of several embedded parameters on the flow quantities are discussed.

AbstractIn this paper, the peristaltic wave propagation of a Non-Newtonian Casson liquid in a non-uniform (flexible)channel with wall properties and heat transfer is analyzed. Long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximations are considered. Analytical solution for velocity, stream function and temperature in terms of various physical parameters is obtained. The impact of yield stress, elasticity, slip and non-uniformity parameters on the peristaltic flow of Casson liquidare observed through graphs and discussed. The important outcome is that an increase in rigidity, stiffness and viscous damping force of the wall results in the enhancement of the size and number of bolus formed in the flow pattern.

A mathematical model is developed to examine the effects of an induced magnetic field on the peristaltic flow in a curved channel. The non-Newtonian pseudoplastic fluid model is used to depict the combined elastic and viscous properties. The analysis has been carried out in the wave frame of reference, long wavelength and low Reynolds scheme are implemented. A series solution is obtained through perturbation analysis. Results for stream function, pressure gradient, magnetic force function, induced magnetic field, and current density are constructed. The effects of significant parameters on the flow quantities are sketched and discussed.

The flow of a viscous fluid due to symmetric peristaltic waves propagating on the horizontal sidewalls of a rectangular duct is studied under the assumptions of long wavelength and low Reynolds number. The effect of aspect ratio β, ratio of height to width, on the pumping characteristics is discussed in detail. The results are compared to with those corresponding to Poiseuille flow.

Peristaltic flow of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Williamson fluid in a symmetric channel is addressed. Modeling is given with Soret and Dufour effects. Channel walls have compliant properties. Analysis has been carried out through long wavelength and low Reynolds number approach. The obtained series solutions for small Weissenberg number are developed. Impact of variables reflecting the salient features of wall properties, Biot numbers and Soret and Dufour on the velocity, temperature and concentration has been point out. Trapping phenomenon is also analyzed.
