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.

Peristaltic flow of a Jeffrey fluid in an inclined asymmetric channel is undertaken when the no-slip condition at the channel wall is no longer valid. The considered fluid is incompressible and electrically conducting. The flow is investigated in a waveframe of reference moving with the velocity of the wave. The analytic solution has been derived for the stream function under long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions. The effect of slip and non-Newtonian parameter on the axial velocity and shear stress are discussed in detail. The salient features of pumping and trapping are discussed with particular focus on the effect of slip and non-Newtonian parameters.

In this paper, we discuss the effects of heat and mass transfer on the peristaltic flow in the presence of an induced magnetic field. Constitutive equations of a Phan-Thien-Tanner fluid are utilized in the mathematical description. Mathematical modelling is based upon the laws of mass, linear momentum, energy, and concentration. Relevant equations are simplified using long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions. A series solution is presented for small Weissenberg number. Variations of emerging parameters embedded in the flow system are discussed.

This study is concerned with the peristaltic flow of a viscous fluid in a curved channel. Mathematically the problem is governed by two partial differential equations. Closed form solutions of the stream function, axial velocity, and pressure gradient are developed under long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions. The influence of curvature is analyzed on various flow quantities of interest.

The effects of wall properties on the peristaltic flow of an incompressible pseudoplastic fluid in a curved channel are investigated. The relevant equations are modeled. Long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximations are adopted. The stream function and axial velocity are derived. The variations of the embedding parameters into the problem are carefully discussed. It is noted that the velocity profiles are not symmetric about the central line of the curved channel.

The aim of the present analysis is to discuss the mixed convective peristaltic flow of shear thinning hyperbolic tangent fluid under the effects of nanoparticles in a curved channel. The model considered for the nanofluid is to analyze the effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis parameter. The problem is formulated under the assumptions of long wavelength and low Reynolds number and then solved analytically using the homotopy perturbation method (HPM). The substantial features of related parameters are examined by sketching graphs. The most important observation of the analysis is that the velocity profiles are not symmetric about the central line of the curved channel.

Peristaltic flow of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Williamson fluid in a symmetric channel is addressed. Modeling is given with Soret and Dufour effects. Channel walls have compliant properties. Analysis has been carried out through long wavelength and low Reynolds number approach. The obtained series solutions for small Weissenberg number are developed. Impact of variables reflecting the salient features of wall properties, Biot numbers and Soret and Dufour on the velocity, temperature and concentration has been point out. Trapping phenomenon is also analyzed.

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.

In the present investigation, problem of heat transfer has been studied during peristaltic motion of a viscous incompressible fluid for two-dimensional nonuniform channel with permeable walls under long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximation. Expressions for pressure, friction force, and temperature are obtained. The effects of different parameters on pressure, friction force, and temperature have been discussed through graphs.
