In the present investigation we have studied a tangent hyperbolic fluid in a uniform inclined tube. The governing equations are simplified using long wavelength and low Reynold number approximations. The solutions of the problem in simplified form are calculated with two methods namely (i) the perturbation method and (ii) the homotopy analysis method. The comparison of the solutions show a very good agreement between the two results. At the end of the article the expressions of the pressure rise and the frictional force are calculated with the help of numerical integration. The graphical results are presented to show the physical behaviour of Weissenberg number We, amplitude ratio φ , and tangent hyperbolic power law index n.

AbstractIn the present study,we investigate the unsteady peristaltic transport of a viscoelastic fluid with fractional Burgers’ model in an inclined tube. We suppose that the viscosity is variable in the radial direction. This analysis has been carried out under low Reynolds number and long-wavelength approximations. An analytical solution to the problem is obtained using a fractional calculus approach. Figures are plotted to show the effects of angle of inclination, Reynolds number, Froude number, material constants, fractional parameters, parameter of viscosity and amplitude ratio on the pressure gradient, pressure rise, friction force, axial velocity and on the mechanical efficiency.

Peristaltic motion of viscoelastic incompressible fluid in an axisymmetric tube with a sinusoidal wave is studied theoretically in the case that the radius of the tube is small relative to the wavelength. Oldroyd flow has been considered in this study and the problem is formulated and analyzed using a perturbation expansion in terms of the variation of the wave number. This analysis can model the chyme movement in the small intestine by considering the chyme as an Oldroyd fluid. We found out that the pumping rate of Oldroyd fluid is less than that for a Newtonian fluid. Further, the effects of Reynolds number, Weissenberg number, amplitude ratio and wave number on the pressure rise and friction force have been discussed. It is found that the pressure rise does not depend on Weissenberg number at a certain value of flow rate. The results are studied for various values of the physical parameters of interest.

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.


This paper concerns with the transfer of heat and hall current effects on peristaltic flow of a Bingham fluid in a channel is analysis. Resulting differential equations after implementation of small Reynolds number and long wavelength considerations are numerically solved. The expressions for different parameters like pressure rise, flow rate and frictional force are determined. The effect of magnetic field, Darcy number, yield stress, amplitude ratio, Hall parameter and the temperature on pressure gradient, pumping characteristics and frictional force are discussed through nature of graphs

The magneto thermodynamic aspects of micropolar fluid (blood model) through an isotropic porous medium in a nonuniform channel with rhythmically contracting walls have been investigated. The flow analysis has been discussed under long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximations. The closed form solutions are obtained for velocity components, microrotation, heat transfer, as well as the wall vorticity. The modified Newton–Raphson method is used to predict the unsteady flow separation points along the peristaltic wall. Numerical computations have been carried out for the pressure rise per wavelength. The study shows that peristaltic transport, fluid velocity, microrotation velocity, and wall shear stress are significantly affected by the nonuniform geometry of the blood vessels. Moreover, the amplitude ratio, the coupling number, the micropolar parameter, and the magnetic parameter are important parameters that affect the flow behavior.

The present study investigates the effects of slip and heat transfer on peristaltic mechanism of Bingham fluid in an inclined tube. The sinusoidal, multi-sinusoidal, triangular, square and trapezoidal wave forms are considered. The analysis has been carried out under the assumptions of long wavelength and small Reynold's number approximations. The closed-form solutions are obtained for velocity, plug flow velocity, pressure gradient, streamlines, and temperature. The numerical integration is employed to investigate the effects of pressure rise and frictional force. The influence of relevant parameters on physiological quantities of interest is analyzed and discussed through graphs. The study reveals that velocity and thermal slip have a decreasing effect on velocity and temperature. Further, it is noticed that the volume of trapped bolus increases for increasing values of velocity slip parameter.

In this study both linearized and the exponential forms of the Phan-Thien–Tanner model (PTT) are used to simulate the peristaltic flow in a tube. The solutions are investigated under zero Reynolds number and infinitely long wavelength assumptions. Computational solutions are obtained for pressure rise and friction force. The results of the average chyme velocity in the small intestine show that the PTT model is in good agreement with the experimental results, as shown in Table 1. Also, the magnitude of pressure rise and friction force of the exponential PTT model are smaller than in linear PTT model for different values of flow rate. The peristaltic pumping and the augmented pumping are discussed for various values of the physical parameters of interest. The pressure rise and friction force of PTT were compared with other studies in both Newtonian and non-Newtonian cases.

This study looks at the influence of an endoscope on the peristaltic flow of a particle–fluid suspension (as blood model) through tubes. A long wavelength approximation through a uniform and non-uniform infinite annulus filled with an incompressible viscous and Newtonian fluid mixed with rigid spherical particles of identical size is investigated theoretically. The inner tube is uniform, rigid and moving with a constant velocity V0, whereas the outer non-uniform tube has a sinusoidal wave travelling down its wall. The axial velocity of the fluid phase uf, particulate phase upand the pressure gradients have been obtained in terms of the dimensionless flow rateQ, the amplitude ratioɸ, particle concentrationC, the velocity constant V0and the radius ratio ϵ (the ratio between the radius of the inner tube and the radius of the outer one at the inlet). Numerical calculations for various values of the physical parameters of interest are carried out for the pressure rise and the friction force on the inner and the outer tubes.

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.

We investigate the peristaltic motion of Carreau fluid in an asymmetric channel with convective boundary conditions. Mathematical formulation is first reduced in a wave frame of reference and then solutions are constructed by long wavelength and low Reynolds number conventions. Results of the stream function, axial pressure gradient, temperature and pressure rise over a wavelength are obtained for small Weissenberg number. Velocity and temperature distributions are analyzed for different parameters of interest. A comparative study between the results of Newtonian and Carreau fluids is given.
