AbstractWe numerically investigate peristaltic transport of incompressible visco-elasto-plastic fluids in a two-dimensional symmetric channel. The constitutive equation used for extra stress tensor is of more general form as it includes a number of well-known models like Maxwell A and B, Johnson–Segalman, Oldroyd-B, and Bingham models as its special cases. A detailed mathematical modelling of the problem is presented. The flow equations in the wave frame reduce to a single nonlinear ordinary differential equation in stream function by the implication of widely taken assumptions of long wavelength and low Reynolds number. The solution of the problem is obtained by two ways; namely, shooting method and Matlab built in routine bvp4c, and their comparison shows an excellent agreement. A parametric study based on bvp4c solution is performed to see the effects of parameters on velocity profile, pressure rise per wavelength, frictional forces, and trapping phenomenon.

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.

This study deals with the peristaltic transport of non-Newtonian Jeffrey fluid with uniformly distributed identical rigid particles in a rectangular duct. The effects of a magnetohydrodynamics bio-bi-phase flow are taken into account. The governing equations for mass and momentum are simplified using the fact that wavelength is much greater than the amplitude and small Reynolds number. A closed-form solution for velocity is obtained by means of the eigenfunction expansion method whereby pressure rise is numerically calculated. The results are graphically presented to observe the effects of different physical parameters and the suitability of the method. The results for hydrodynamic, Newtonian fluid, and single-phase problems can be respectively obtained by taking the Hartmann number (M = 0), relaxation time (λ1=0), and volume fraction (C = 0) as special cases of this problem.

During the cancer treatment, one of the successful methods is to inject the blood vessels which are closest to the tumor with magnetic nanoparticles along with placing a magnet nearer to the tumor. The dynamics of these nanoparticles may happen under the action of the peristaltic waves generated on the walls of tapered asymmetric channel. Analyzing this type of nanofluid flow under such action may highly be supportive in treating cancer tissues. In this study, a newly described peristaltic transport of Carreau nanofluids under the effect of a magnetic field in the tapered asymmetric channel are analytically investigated. Exact expressions for temperature field, nanoparticle fraction field, axial velocity, stream function, pressure gradient and shear stress are derived under the assumptions of long wavelength and low Reynolds number. Finally, the effects of various emerging parameters on the physical quantities of interest are discussed. It is found that the pressure rise increases with increase in Hartmann Number and thermophoresis parameter.

A serious pathological condition is encountered when some blood constituents deposited on the blood vessels get detached from the wall, join the blood stream again and form a clot. Study of the peristaltic transport of a micropolar fluid in an annular region is investigated under low Reynolds number and long wavelength approximations. We model a small artery as a tube having a sinusoidal wave travelling down its wall and a clot model inside it. Closed form solutions are obtained for the velocity and the microrotation components, as well as the stream function, and they contain new additional parameters, namely, δ, the height of the clot,N, the coupling number andm, the micropolar parameter. The pressure rise and friction force on the inner and the outer tubes have been discussed for various values of the physical parameters of interest.

This paper is concerned with the analysis of peristaltic motion of a Jeffrey fluid in a tube with sinusoidal wave travelling down its wall. The effect of rotation, porous medium, and magnetic field on peristaltic transport of a Jeffrey fluid in tube is studied. The fluid is electrically conducting in the presence of rotation and a uniform magnetic field. An analytic solution is carried out for long wavelength, axial pressure gradient, and low Reynolds number considerations. The results for pressure rise and frictional force per wavelength were obtained, evaluated numerically, and discussed briefly.

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.

An attempt is made to investigate the peristaltic motion of a Giesekus fluid in a planar channel under long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximations. Under these assumptions, the flow problem is modelled as a second-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation. Both approximate and exact solution of this equation are presented. The validity of the approximate solution is examined by comparing it with the exact solution. A parametric study is performed to analyze the effects of non-dimensional parameters associated with the Giesekus fluid model (a and We) on flow velocity, pressure rise per wavelength, and trapping phenomenon. It is found that the behaviour of longitudinal velocity and pattern of streamlines for a Giesekus fluid deviate from their counterparts for a Newtonian fluid by changing the parameters a and We. In fact, the magnitude of the longitudinal velocity at the center of the channel for a Giesekus fluid is less than that for a Newtonian fluid. It is also observed that the pressure rise per wavelength decreases in going form Newtonian to Giesekus fluid. Moreover, the size of trapped bolus is large and it circulates faster for a Newtonian fluid in comparison to a Giesekus fluid.

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.

In this paper, the effects of peristaltic transport with double-diffusive convection in nanofluids through an asymmetric channel with different waveforms is presented. Mathematical modeling for two-dimensional and two-directional flows of a Jeffery fluid model along with double-diffusive convection in nanofluids are given. Exact solutions are obtained for nanoparticle fraction field, concentration field, temperature field, stream functions, pressure gradient and pressure rise in terms of axial and transverse coordinates under the restrictions of long wavelength and low Reynolds number. With the help of computational and graphical results, the effects of Brownian motion, thermospheres, Dufour, Soret and Grashof numbers (thermal, concentration, nanoparticles) on peristaltic flow patterns with double-diffusive convection are discussed.
