Peristaltic motion of a Bingham fluid in contact with a Newtonian fluid in a vertical channel

Peristaltic Transport of a Herschel-bulkley Fluid in Contact with a Newtonian Fluid

Peristaltic transport of Herschel-Bulkley fluid in contact with a Newtonian fluid in a channel is investigated for its various applications to flows with physiological fluids (blood, chyme, intrauterine fluid, etc.). The primary application is when blood flows through small vessels; blood has a peripheral layer of plasma and a core region of suspension of all the erythrocytes. That is, in the m...

Peristaltic motion of a Carreau fluid in an asymmetric channel

Peristaltic transport of a fluid in channels has been a subject of great interest for the last four decades. Such interest is motivated by several applications of peristaltic flows in engineering and industry. In animals and human bodies, the physiological fluids pumped by the muscular oscillations which correspond to peristaltic activity. In particular, the flow of blood through arteries and v...

Peristaltic Viscoelastic Fluid Motion in a Tube

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 t...

Thermodynamic analysis of a magnetohydrodyamic oldroyd 8-constant fluid in a vertical channel with heat source and slippage

Thermodynamic analysis of a steady state flow and heat transfer of an Oldroyd 8-constant fluid with effect of heat source, velocity slip and buoyancy force under tranverse a magnetic field is is carried out in this paper. The model for momentum and energy balance is tackled numerically using Method of Weighted Residual (MWR). Partition method is used to minimize the associated residuals. The re...
