Peristaltic transport of a Maxwell fluid in a porous asymmetric channel through a porous medium

Peristaltic transport of a conducting fluid through a porous medium in an asymmetric vertical channel

The study of the mechanism of peristalsis in both mechanical and physiological situations has recently become the object of scientific research. Several theoretical and experimental attempts have been made to understand peristaltic action in different situations. A review of much of the early literature is presented in an article by Jaffrin and Shapiro (5). A summary of most of the experimental...

Peristaltic flow of a Williamson fluid in an asymmetric channel through porous medium

Peristaltic transport of a Williamson fluid in an asymmetric channel through porous medium is studied under long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions. The nonlinear governing equations of the peristaltic flow are solved using perturbation method. The solution for the stream function is obtained by neglecting inertia and curvature effects. The velocity distribution, the volume flow rat...

Peristaltic Transport of a Jeffrey Fluid with Variable Viscosity through a Porous Medium in an Asymmetric Channel

The peristaltic flow of a Jeffrey fluid with variable viscosity through a porous medium in an asymmetric channel is investigated. The channel asymmetric is produced by choosing the peristaltic wave train on thewall of different amplitude and phase. The governing nonlinear partial differential equations for the Jeffrey fluid model are derived in Cartesian coordinates system. Analytic solutions f...

MHD thermal radiation and chemical reaction effects with peristaltic transport of the eyring-powell fluid through a porous medium

In this paper, we analyze the thermal radiation and chemical reaction impacts on MHD peristaltic motion of the Eyring-Powell fluid through a porous medium in a channel with compliant walls under slip conditions for velocity, temperature, and concentration. Assumptions of a long wave length and low Reynolds number are considered. The modeled equations are computed by using the perturbation metho...
