The study of MHD peristaltic transport of a Jeffrey fluid through the gap between two deformable tubes has been investigated in this paper. The outer and the inner tubes have both sinusoidal waves travelling down their walls when the amplitudes and the wavelengths are different. The equations of motion are simplified under the assumption of long wavelengths and low Reynolds number approximations. Analytical solutions for the pressure rise and axial velocity has been obtained in the closed form. Effects of pertinent parameters on pressure gradient, pressure rise, axial velocity and mechanical efficiency have been discussed through graphs. The results show that we have two cases, the first one is [Formula: see text], i.e., the wavelength of the inner tube is smaller than that of the outer tube and the second case is the opposite one [Formula: see text]. It is found that an increase of [Formula: see text] causes a decrease of the pumping and the mechanical efficiency when [Formula: see text] while an opposite behavior for [Formula: see text] is observed. In addition and for the two cases, the pumping and the mechanical efficiency increase with increasing the amplitude ration of the outer tube or the radius ratio while they decrease with the increase in the Hartmann number, amplitude ration of the inner tube or in the ratio of relaxation to retardation times.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the peristaltic flow of a Jeffrey fluid in an asymmetric channel, subjected to gravity field and rotation in the presence of a magnetic field. The channel asymmetry is produced by choosing the peristaltic wave train on the walls to have different amplitude and phase. The flow is investigated in a wave frame of reference moving with the velocity of the wave. Involved problems are analyzed through long wavelength and low Reynolds number. Design/methodology/approach The analytical expressions for the pressure gradient, pressure rise, stream function, axial velocity and shear stress have been obtained. The effects of Hartmann number, the ratio of relaxation to retardation times, time-mean flow, rotation, the phase angle and the gravity field on the pressure gradient, pressure rise, streamline, axial velocity and shear stress are very pronounced and physically interpreted through graphical illustrations. Comparison was made with the results obtained in the asymmetric and symmetric channels. Findings The results indicate that the effect of the Hartmann number, the ratio of relaxation to retardation times, time-mean flow, rotation, the phase angle and the gravitational field are very pronounced in the phenomena. Originality/value In the present work, the authors investigate gravity field, and rotation through an asymmetric channel in the presence of a magnetic field has been analyzed. It also deals with the effect of the magnetic field and gravity field of peristaltic transport of a Jeffrey fluid in an asymmetric rotating channel.

In this paper, the peristaltic flow of a Jeffrey fluid in an asymmetric channel has been investigated. Mathematical modeling is carried out by utilizing long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions. Closed form expressions for the pressure gradient, pressure rise, stream function, axial velocity, and shear stress on the channel walls have been computed numerically. Effects of the Hartmann number, the ratio of relaxation to retardation times, time-mean flow, the phase angle and the gravity field on the pressure gradient, pressure rise, streamline, axial velocity, and shear stress are discussed in detail and shown graphically. The results indicate that the effect of Hartmann number, ratio of relaxation to retardation times, time-mean flow, phase angle, and gravity field are very pronounced in the peristaltic transport phenomena. Comparison was made with the results obtained in the presence and absence of magnetic field and gravity field.

In this paper, we study theoretically the peristaltic transport of a generalized four-parameter plastic fluid in a circular cylindrical tube. The present fluid model is presented for the rheological characterization of inelastic fluid foods. Long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximations are taken into account to get solution. The effects of embedded parameters on pressure rise, frictional force and especially on the mechanical efficiency have been numerically displayed and physically discussed.

In the present article, we tried to develop the exact solutions for the peristaltic flow of Jeffrey fluid model in a cross section of three dimensional rectangular channel having slip at the peristaltic boundaries. Equation of motion and boundary conditions are made dimensionless by introducing some suitable nondimensional parameters. The flow is considered under the approximations of low Reynolds number and long wavelength. Exact solution of the obtained linear boundary value problem is evaluated. However, the expression for pressure rise is calculated numerically with the help of numerical integration. All pertinent parameters are discussed through graphs of pressure rise, pressure gradient, velocity and stream functions. It is found that presence of slip at the walls reduces the flow velocity but increases the peristaltic pumping characteristics.

The exact solution for any physical model is of great importance in the applied science. Such exact solution leads to the correct physical interpretation and it is also useful in validating the approximate analytical or numerical methods. The exact solution for the peristaltic transport of a Jeffrey fluid with variable viscosity through a porous medium in an asymmetric channel has been achieved. The main advantage of such exact solution is the avoidance of any kind of restrictions on the viscosity parameterα, unlike the previous study in which the restrictionα≪ 1 has been put to achieve the requirements of the regular perturbation method. Hence, various plots have been introduced for the exact effects of the viscosity parameter, Daray’s number, porosity, amplitude ratio, Jeffrey fluid parameter, and the amplitudes of the waves on the pressure rise and the axial velocity. These exact effects have been discussed and further compared with those approximately obtained in the literature by using the regular perturbation method. The comparisons reveal that remarkable differences have been detected between the current exact results and those approximately obtained in the literature for the axial velocity profile and the pressure rise.

The impact of lateral walls and partial slip with different waveforms on peristaltic pumping of couple stress fluid in a rectangular duct with different waveforms has been discussed in the current article. By means of a wave frame of reference the flow is explored travelling away from a fixed frame with velocity c. Peristaltic waves generated on horizontal surface walls of rectangular duct are considered using lubrication technique. Mathematical modelling of couple fluid for three-dimensional flow are first discussed in detail. Lubrication approaches are used to simplify the proposed problem. Exact solutions of pressure gradient, pressure rise, velocity and stream function have been calculated. Numerical and graphical descriptions are displayed to look at the behaviour of diverse emerging parameters.

The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) peristaltic flow of the fractional Jeffrey fluid through porous medium in a nonuniform channel is presented. The fractional calculus is considered in Darcy’s law and the constitutive relationship which included the relaxation and retardation behavior. Under the assumptions of long wavelength and low Reynolds number, the analysis solutions of velocity distribution, pressure gradient, and pressure rise are investigated. The effects of fractional viscoelastic parameters of the generalized Jeffrey fluid on the peristaltic flow and the influence of magnetic field, porous medium, and geometric parameter of the nonuniform channel are presented through graphical illustration. The results of the analogous flow for the generalized second grade fluid, the fractional Maxwell fluid, are also deduced as special cases. The comparison among them is presented graphically.

<p><span lang="EN-IN">The flow of an unsteady incompressible electrically conducting fluid with uniform distribution of dust particles in a constricted channel has been studied. The medium is assumed to be porous in nature. The governing equations of motion are treated analytically and the expressions are obtained by using variable separable and Laplace transform techniques. The influence of the dust particles on the velocity distributions of the fluid are investigated for various cases and the results are illustrated by varying parameters like Hartmann number, deposition thickness on the walls of the cylinder and the permeability of the porous medium on the velocity of dust and fluid phase.</span></p>

The peristaltic flow of a viscoelastic fluid in the tapered microchannel with variable viscosity is investigated. This study is reinvigorated by discovering fluid dynamic in peristaltic motion as signified by biological flows, pharmacodynamics and gastro-intestinal motility enhancement. The microchannel non-uniform and asymmetry is developed by choosing a peristaltic wave train on the wall with different amplitudes and phases. The flow analysis has been arisen for low Reynolds number and long wavelength case. The solutions for stream function, axial velocity and pressure gradient are obtained. The effects of pertinent parameters on the average pressure rise per wavelength are investigated by means of numerical integration. The axial velocity and phenomena of trapping are further discussed.

The investigation is to explore the transportation of a viscoelastic fluid by peristalsis in a channel as well as in a circular cylindrical tube by considering Jeffrey-model. In order to apply the model to the swallowing of food-bolus through the oesophagus, the wave equation assumed to propagate along the walls is such that the walls contract in the transverse/radial direction and relax but do not expand further. Solutions have been presented in the closed form by using small Reynolds number and long wavelength approximations. The expressions of pressure gradient, volume flow rate and average volume flow rate have been derived. It is revealed on the basis of computational investigation that for a fixed flow rate, pressure decreases when the ratio of relaxation time to retardation time is increased. In both the channel and tubular flows, the pressure decreases on increasing the ratio of relaxation time to retardation time if the averaged flow rate is less than the maximum flow rate. It is also revealed that the maximum tubular flow rate is higher than that of the channel-flow. It is further found through the theoretical analysis that mechanical efficiency, reflux and local wall shear stress remain unaffected by viscoelastic property of the fluid modelled as Jeffrey-fluid.
