This work concerns the peristaltic flow of a Carreau fluid model through porous medium under combined effects of MHD and wall properties. The assumptions of Reynolds number and long wavelength is investigated. The flow is investigated in a wave frame of reference moving with velocity of the wave. The perturbation series in terms of the Weissenberg number (We <1) was used to obtain explicit forms for velocity field and stream function. The effects of thermal conductivity, Grashof number, Darcy number, magnet, rigidity, stiffness of the wall and viscous damping force parameters on velocity, temperature and stream function have been studied.

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.

During this article, we have a tendency to show the peristaltic activity of magnetohydrodynamics flow of carreau fluid with heat transfer influence in an inclined tapered asymmetric channel through porous medium by exploitation the influence of non-slip boundary conditions. The tapered asymmetric channel is often created because of the intrauterine fluid flow induced by myometrial contraction and it had been simulated by asymmetric peristaltic fluid flow in an exceedingly two dimensional infinite non uniform channel, this fluid is known as hereby carreau fluid, conjointly we are able to say that one amongst carreau's applications is that the blood flow within the body of human. Industrial field, silicon oil is an example of carreau fluid. By exploitation, the perturbation technique for little values of weissenberg number, the nonlinear governing equations in the two-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system is resolved under the assumptions of long wavelength and low Reynolds number. The expressions of stream function, temperature distribution, the coefficient of heat transfer, frictional forces at the walls of the channel, pressure gradient are calculated. The effectiveness of interesting parameters on the inflow has been colluded and studied.

Abstract The thermal entrance problem (also known as the classical Graetz problem) is studied for the complex rheological Carreau fluid model. The solution of two-dimensional energy equation in the form of an infinite series is obtained by employing the separation of variables method. The ensuing eigenvalue problem (S–L problem) is solved for eigenvalues and corresponding eigenfunctions through MATLAB routine bvp5c. Numerical integration via Simpson’s rule is carried out to compute the coefficient of series solution. Current problem is also tackled by an alternative approach where numerical solution of eigenvalue problem is evaluated via the Runge–Kutta fourth order method. This problem is solved for both flat and circular confinements with two types of boundary conditions: (i) constant wall temperature and (ii) prescribed wall heat flux. The obtained results of both local and mean Nusselt numbers, fully developed temperature profile and average temperature are discussed for different values of Weissenberg number and power-law index through graphs and tables. This study is valid for typical range of Weissenberg number W e ≤ 1 $\left(We\le 1\right)$ and power-law index n < 1 $\left(n{< }1\right)$ for shear-thinning trend while n > 1 $\left(n{ >}1\right)$ for shear-thickening behaviour. The scope of the present study is broad in the context that the solution of the said problem is achieved by using two different approaches namely, the traditional Graetz approach and the solution procedure documented in M. D. Mikhailov and M. N. Ozisik, Unified Analysis and Solutions of Heat and Mass Diffusion, New York, Dover, 1994.

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.

This paper presents a numerical study of the calendering mechanism. The calendered material is represented using the Carreau-Yasuda fluid model. The governing flow equations in the calendering process are made first dimensionless then the lubrication approximation theory (LAT) is used to simplify them. The simplified flow equations are transformed into stream function and then are numerically solved. A numerical method is constructed with Matlab’s built-in-bvp4c routine to find the stream function and pressure gradient. We use the Runge-Kutta algorithm to calculate the pressure and mechanical quantities related to the calendering process. In this analysis the pressure distribution increases with increasing Weissenberg number, however the pressure domain length decreases as the Weissenberg number increases. The pressure inside the nip region decreases from its Newtonian value when the power law index is less than one (shear thinning), and the pressure profile increases from its Newtonian pressure when the power law index is greater than one(shear thickening). How the Carreau-Yasuda fluid model parameters influence the velocity and related calendering process quantities are also discussed via graphs.

AbstractIn this paper, the peristaltic wave propagation of a Non-Newtonian Casson liquid in a non-uniform (flexible)channel with wall properties and heat transfer is analyzed. Long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximations are considered. Analytical solution for velocity, stream function and temperature in terms of various physical parameters is obtained. The impact of yield stress, elasticity, slip and non-uniformity parameters on the peristaltic flow of Casson liquidare observed through graphs and discussed. The important outcome is that an increase in rigidity, stiffness and viscous damping force of the wall results in the enhancement of the size and number of bolus formed in the flow pattern.

Abstract The flow past an impermeable sphere embedded in a fluid saturated porous medium was studied numerically considering valid the Brinkman-Forchheimer-Darcy (or Brinkman-Hazen-Dupuit-Darcy) model. The flow is viscous, laminar, axisymmetric, steady and incompressible. The porous medium is isotropic, rigid and homogeneous. The stream function - vorticity equations were solved numerically in spherical coordinates system by a multigrid method. The influence of the Darcy number and Forchheimer term on the velocities field was investigated for two boundary conditions on the surface of the sphere: slip and no - slip.

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.
