Mathematical model for the peristaltic flow of chyme in small intestine along with inserted endoscope is considered. Here, chyme is treated as Williamson fluid, and the flow is considered between the annular region formed by two concentric tubes (i.e., outer tube as small intestine and inner tube as endoscope). Flow is induced by two sinusoidal peristaltic waves of different wave lengths, traveling down the intestinal wall with the same speed. The governing equations of Williamson fluid in cylindrical coordinates have been modeled. The resulting nonlinear momentum equations are simplified using long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximations. The resulting problem is solved using regular perturbation method in terms of a variant of Weissenberg numberWe. The numerical solution of the problem is also computed by using shooting method, and comparison of results of both solutions for velocity field is presented. The expressions for axial velocity, frictional force, pressure rise, stream function, and axial pressure gradient are obtained, and the effects of various emerging parameters on the flow characteristics are illustrated graphically. Furthermore, the streamlines pattern is plotted, and it is observed that trapping occurs, and the size of the trapped bolus varies with varying embedded flow parameters.

In this paper, we have investigated the peristaltic flow of Williamson fluid in a curved channel. The governing equations of Williamson fluid model for curved channel are derived including the effects of curvature. The highly nonlinear partial differential equations are simplified by using the wave frame transformation, long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions. The reduced nonlinear partial differential equation is solved analytically with the help of homotopy perturbation method. The physical features of pertinent parameters have been discussed by plotting the graphs of pressure rise, velocity profile and stream functions.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the theoretical study of a nonlinear problem of cilia induced flow by considering the fluid as anincompressible non-Newtonian fluid (hyperbolic tangent fluid) model by means of ciliated walls. The leading equations of present flow problem are simplified under the consideration of long-wavelength approximation. We have utilized regular perturbation technique to solve the simplified leading equations of hyperbolic tangent fluid model. The analytical solution is computed for stream function and numerical solution is computed for the rise in pressure. The characteristics of the ciliary system on tangent hyperbolic fluid are analyzed graphically and discussed in detail. It has been found that when [Formula: see text], the results of pressure rise coincide with the results of Newtonian fluid. It has also been observed that the size of the trapping bolus decreases with an increase in Hartmann number and Weissenberg number.

In the present analysis, we have modeled the governing equations of a two dimensional hyperbolic tangent fluid model. Using the assumption of long wavelength and low Reynolds number, the governing equations of hyperbolic tangent fluid for an asymmetric channel have been solved using the regular perturbation method. The expression for pressure rise has been calculated using numerical integrations. At the end, various physical parameters have been shown pictorially. It is found that the narrow part of the channel requires a large pressure gradient, also in the narrow part the pressure gradient decreases with the increase in Weissenberg number We and channel width d.

In the present article, we have studied the Rabinowitsch fluid model for the peristaltic flow. The non-Newtonian nature of the fluid is analyzed mathematically by considering the Rabinowitsch fluid. The Rabinowitsch fluid model for the peristaltic flow is not discussed so far. This is the first article describing the features of Rabinowitsch fluid in peristaltic literature. The fluid is flowing in a uniform tube with the wave motion. Exact solutions have been calculated for velocity and pressure gradient. The physical behavior of different parameters for velocity, pressure rise, streamlines, and pressure gradient have been examined graphically. It is observed that when Weissenberg number is large then the relaxation time of the fluid is greater than a specific process time in which the pressure rise increases rapidly in the peristaltic pumping regions. Trapping phenomena have been discussed at the end of the article

The present studies deal with the peristaltic motion of an incompressible Williamson fluid model in an endoscope. The governing equations of Williamson fluid model are first simplify using the assumptions of long wavelength and low Reynolds number. The four types of solutions have been presented for velocity profile named (i) exact solution, (ii) perturbation solution, (iii) HAM solution, and (iv) numerical solutions. The comparisons of four solutions have been found a very good agreement between all the solutions. In addition, the expressions for pressure rise and velocity against various physical parameters are discussed through graphs.

The peristaltic flow of Johnson–Segalman fluid in a symmetric curved channel with convective conditions and flexible walls is addressed in this article. The channel walls are considered to be compliant. The main objective of this article is to discuss the effects of curvilinear of the channel and heat/mass convection through boundary conditions. The constitutive equations for Johnson–Segalman fluid are modeled and analyzed under lubrication approach. The stream function, temperature, and concentration profiles are derived. The analytical solutions are obtained by using regular perturbation method for significant number, named as Weissenberg number. The influence of the parameter values on the physical level of interest is outlined and discussed. Comparison is made between Jhonson-Segalman and Newtonian fluid. It is concluded that the axial velocity of Jhonson-Segalman fluid is substantially higher than that of Newtonian fluid.

The effects of long lasting non-dimensional parameters on exact solution for velocity profile, pressure rise and shear stresses are studied graphically in the last section. Tables are also incorporated for shear stresses at the walls of the curved channel.

The effect of permeable walls and magnetic field on the peristaltic flow of a Carreau fluid in a tapered asymmetric channel is studied. The tapered asymmetric channel is normally created due to the intra-uterine fluid flow induced by myometrial contractions and it was simulated by asymmetric peristaltic fluid flow in a two-dimensional infinite non-uniform channel. The analysis has been performed under long wavelength and low-Reynolds number assumptions to linearize the governing flow equations. A series solution in respect of a small Weissenberg number is obtained for the stream function, axial pressure gradient and shear stress. Time average of pressure rise and frictional force on the upper wall has also been computed using numerical integration. The results have been presented graphically for the various interested physical parameters. It is observed that for Carreau fluids the peristalsis works as a pump against a greater pressure rise compared with a Newtonian fluid, while there exists no significant difference in free pumping flux for Newtonian and Carreau fluids in the tapered asymmetric channel.

The current study provides an analytical approach to analyze the blood flow through a stenosed artery by using the Carreau fluid model. The flow governing equations are derived under the consideration of mild stenosis. Mathematical analysis has been carried out by considering the blood as non-Newtonian nature. Then, the analytical solution has been investigated by using the regular perturbation technique. The solutions obtained by this perturbation are up to the second-order in dimensionless Weissenberg number We . The performed computations of various parameter values such as velocity, wall shear stress, shear stress, and resistance impedance at the stenotic throat are discussed in detail for different values of Weissenberg number We . The obtained results demonstrate that for shear-thinning fluid, the fluid velocity increases with the increasing parameter m while opposite behavior is observed with the increase in We . Hence, the presented numerical analysis reveals many aspects of the flow by considering the blood as a non-Newtonian Carreau fluid model, and the presented model can be equally applicable to other bio-mathematical studies.
