Peristaltic flow of Maxwell fluid in an asymmetric channel with wall properties
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study is concerned with the peristaltic motion of a Maxwell fluid in an asymmetric compliant channel. The channel asymmetry is created because of peristaltic wave trains of different amplitudes and phases on the channel walls. Mathematical model of the governing problem is first presented and then important phenomenon of "mean flow reversal" is examined. The variations of the interesting parameters entering into the problem are discussed. It was found out that mean velocity in Maxwell fluid is greater than the viscous fluid.

متن کاملEffects of Slip and Heat Transfer on MHD Peristaltic Flow in An Inclined Asymmetric Channel
Peristaltic transport of an incompressible electrically conducting viscous fluid in an inclined planar asymmetric channel is studied. The asymmetry is produced by choosing the peristaltic wave train on the walls to have different amplitude and phase. The closed form solutions of momentum and energy equation in presence of viscous dissipation term are obtained for long wave length and low Reynol...
