Analysis has been made for the curvature effects on the MHD peristaltic flow of an incompressible Carreau fluid in a channel. The flow problem is first reduced in the wave frame of reference and then solved after employing the long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximations. Expressions of stream function, pressure gradient, magnetic force function, induced magnetic field and current density are derived and then examined for various parameters of interest.

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.

AbstractThe peristaltic flow of an incompressible viscous fluid in a curved channel is investigated. The flow analysis is conducted in the presence of an induced magnetic field. A long-wavelength and low-Reynolds number approach is followed. The stream function, pressure gradient, magnetic force function, induced magnetic field, and current density are constructed. We observed that symmetry in the profiles of u and ϕ is disturbed because of curvature effects. For larger values of curvature k, results of planar channel are deduced. The effects of significant parameters have been portrayed and discussed.

The purpose of this study is to discuss the influence of induced magnetic field on the peristaltic flow of an incompressible third-grade fluid in a curved channel. The problem formulation is presented in a wave frame of reference. The continuity, linear momentum, and induction equations lead to the mathematical development. The relations of stream function, pressure gradient, magnetic force function, induced magnetic field, and current density are developed. The effects of embedded parameters are explained by plots.

This article is devoted to the study of peristaltic transport of a Carreau fluid in a vertical annulus under the consideration of long wavelength. The flow is investigated in a wave frame of reference moving with the velocity of the wave. Exact solutions have been evaluated for temperature and concentration field, while approximated analytical and numerical solutions are found for the velocity field using (i) the perturbation method and (ii) the shooting method. The effects of various emerging parameters are investigated graphically.

This article looks at the influence of an induced magnetic field on peristaltic motion of an incompressible fluid in a planar channel with non-conductive walls. Peristaltic flow is generated by a sinusoidal wave travelling down its walls. The problem formulation in a wave frame of reference moving with velocity of wave is established. Mathematical relations for the stream function, pressure gradient, magnetic force function, and axial induced magnetic field are constructed. The pressure rise and frictional force are discussed by performing numerical integration. Effects of many sundry parameters entering into the governing problem are examined by plotting graphs

AbstractIn this article, we have investigated peristaltic mechanisms in a two dimensional nonuniform channel filled with Herschel–Bulkley fluid. Problem is studied under the assumptions of long-wavelength and low-Reynolds-number approximation. The fluid flow is investigated in the wave frame of reference moving with the velocity of the peristaltic wave in a channel. Exact solutions for the velocity field, temperature profile, stream functions, and pressure gradient are obtained and illustrated graphically for different parameters of interest such as α (angle of inclination), τ (the ratio of yield stress), φ (amplitude ratio), Pr (Prandtl number), and Q (mean flow rate) etc.

Abstract This research is devoted to the peristaltic flow of Eyring-Powell nanofluid in an asymmetric channel. Robins-type (convective) boundary conditions are employed in the presence of mixed convection and magnetic field. The basic equations of Eyring-Powell nanofluid are modeled in wave frame of reference. Long wavelength and low Reynolds number approach is utilized. Numerical solution of the governing problem is computed and analyzed. The effects of various parameters of interest on the velocity, pressure rise, concentration and temperature are discussed and illustrated graphically. Brownian motion parameter and thermophoresis parameter facilitates the increase in temperature of fluid. Biot numbers serve to reduce the temperature at channel walls.

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.
