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.

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 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
