The heat transfer characteristics of a couple-stress fluid (CSF) in a two-dimensional asymmetric channel is analyzed. The channel asymmetry is produced by choosing the peristaltic wave train on the walls to have different amplitudes and phase. Mathematical modeling corresponding to the two-dimensional couple stress fluid is made. Analytical expressions for the axial velocity, stream function, heat transfer, and the axial pressure gradient are established using long wavelength assumption. Numerical computations have been carried out for the pressure rise per wavelength. The influence of various parameters of interest is seen through graphs on frictional forces, pumping and trapping phenomena, and temperature profile.

The intrauterine fluid flow due to myometrial contractions is peristaltic type motion and the myometrial contractions may occur in both symmetric and asymmetric directions. The channel asymmetry is produced by choosing the peristaltic wave train on the walls to have different amplitude, and phase due to the variation of channel width, wave amplitudes and phase differences. In this paper, we study the effects of heat and mass transfer on the peristaltic transport of magnetohydrodynamic couple stress fluid through homogeneous porous medium in a vertical asymmetric channel. The flow is investigated in the wave frame of reference moving with constant velocity with the wave. The governing equations of couple stress fluid have been simplified under the long wave length approximation. The exact solutions of the resultant governing equations have been derived for the stream function, temperature, concentration, pressure gradient, and heat transfer coefficients. The pressure difference and frictional forces at both the walls are calculated using numerical integration. The influence of diverse flow parameters on the fluid velocity, pressure gradient, temperature, concentration, pressure difference, frictional forces, heat transfer coefficients, and trapping has been discussed. The graphical results are also discussed for four different wave shapes. It is noticed that increasing of couple stresses and heat generation parameter increases the size of the trapped bolus. The heat generation parameter increases the peristaltic pumping and temperature.

An analytical examination of a couple stress fluid in respect of the applied magnetic field was carried out using an asymmetric channel with slip condition and heat transfer. The flow problem had been formulated and then simplified by employing lubrication theory. By using wave parameter MHD flow of couple stress fluid was reduced to ODEs, of the governing PDEs. The expression for the axial velocity, pressure rise, stream function and axial pressure gradient are presented graphically and the physical applications discussed. The trapping phenomena and pumping characteristic are presented for couple stress parameter; slip parameter and Hartmann number are discussed. The present analysis revealed that the velocity of the blood increased as the viscosity of blood reduced by influencing the magnetic field strength. This result was very much important at the time of strokes and heart attacks during thicker blood damage in blood vessels.

The present paper investigates the role of heat transfer on peristaltic transport of Jeffery liquid in a porous tube. The effect of variable viscosity and slip impacts are taken into account. The closed-form solutions are obtained with the help of long wavelength and small Reynolds number. The results of physiological parameters on velocity, pressure rise, frictional force, trapped bolus, and temperature are plotted graphically. It is seen that the pressure rise and the frictional forces decline with an expansion in the viscosity parameter. The study further demonstrates that an increase in the value of the slip parameter significantly alters the pressure rise, frictional force, and temperature. Moreover, the volume of trapped bolus increases with an increase in the value of the velocity slip parameter.

Abstract In this investigation, we have studied the problem of peristaltic flow with heat transfer through the gap between coaxial inclined tubes where the inner tube is rigid and the outer tube has sinusoidal wave travelling down its wall. The problem has been formulated in cylindrical coordinate system. The equations governing the flow have been simplified under the long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions. The exact solution is obtained for the temperature profile. The perturbation solutions for the velocity and pressure gradient are obtained for small couple stress parameter. Pressure difference per wavelength and frictional forces on the tube walls have been computed numerically. Results are demonstrated for various flow parameters. The better pumping results occur in vertical tube, while less pumping is seen in horizontal tube. The size of trapped bolus is small in triangular wave as compared to other waves. The present study has a wide range of applications in bio-medical engineering like the transport phenomenon in peristaltic micro pumps.

The present article deals with the effects of nanoparticles and magnetic field on the peristaltic flow of a couple stress fluid in an asymmetric channel with different wave forms. Mathematical modelling for 2-D and two directional flows of a couple stress fluid along with nanofluid are first given and then simplified under the assumptions of long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximation. After invoking these approximations we get coupled non-linear differential equations. The exact solutions of temperature distribution, the nanoparticle concentration, velocity, stream function and pressure gradient are calculated. Finally graphical results of various physical parameters of interest are discussed to examine the behavior of flow quantities.

An analysis is carried out for the peristaltic flow in an inclined asymmetric channel when no-slip condition does not hold. The whole analysis has been carried out in the presence of mass transfer and chemical reaction. The channel asymmetry is generated because of peristaltic wave train on the walls through different amplitudes and phases. Long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumption is adopted in the whole mathematical analysis. Expressions for the stream function and longitudinal pressure gradient have been developed. Numerical integration is performed for the analysis of pressure rise per wavelength. Longitudinal velocity, pumping and trapping phenomena are analyzed in detail via plots.

In this article, we considered the peristaltic flow of Newtonian incompressible fluid of chyme in small intestine. The analysis has been performed using an endoscope. The peristaltic flow of chyme is modeled by assuming that the peristaltic wave is formed in non-periodic mode comprising two sinusoidal waves of different wave lengths propagating with same speed along the outer wall of the tube. Heat transfer mechanisms have been taken into account, such that the constant temperature [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are assigned to inner and outer tubes, respectively. A complex system of equations has been simplified using long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximation because such assumptions exist in small intestine. Exact solutions have been carried out for velocity temperature and pressure gradient. Graphical results have been discussed for pressure rise, frictional forces, temperature, and velocity profile. Comparison of present results with the results of the existing literature have been presented through figures. Trapping phenomena have been presented at the conclusion of the article.

ABSTRACTThis article addresses peristaltic flow of third order fluid in an asymmetric channel. Channel walls are subjected to the convective boundary conditions. The channel asymmetry is produced by choosing the peristaltic wave train on the walls to have different amplitudes and phase. Long wavelength approximation and perturbation method give the series solutions for the stream function, temperature and longitudinal pressure gradient. Analysis has been further carried out for pressure rise per wavelength through numerical integration. Several graphs of physical interest are displayed and discussed.
