Ureteral peristaltic mechanism facilitates urine transport from the kidney to the bladder. Numerical analysis of the peristaltic flow in the ureter aims to further our understanding of the reflux phenomenon and other ureteral abnormalities. Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) plays an important role in accuracy of this approach and the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) formulation is a strong m...

The present study investigates the peristaltic flow of couple stress fluid in a non-uniform rectangular duct with compliant walls. Mathematical modeling is based upon the laws of mass and linear momentum. Analytic solutions are carried out by the eigen function expansion method under long-wavelength and low-Reynolds number approximations. The features of the flow characteristics are analyzed by...

Peristaltic flow of couple stress fluids is studied here in a finite length channel. The analysis is carried out under the assumption of long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximations. When the couple stress parameter increases, it is found that pressure diminishes, maximum averaged flow rate increases, mechanical efficiency decreases, area experiencing reflux reduces, and trapped bolus...

The effects of velocity slip and Joule heating on peristaltic flow of MHD Newtonian fluid in a porous channel with elastic wall properties have been studied under the assumptions of longwavelength and low-Reynolds number. The analytical solution has been derived for the stream function, temperature and heat transfer coefficient. The emerging flow parameters on the velocity, temperature and heat...

This paper is concerned with the study of the peristaltic flow of Herschel – Bulkley fluid in an inclined flexible channel lined with porous material under long wave length and low Reynolds number assumptions. This model may be applicable to describe blood flow in the sense that erythrocytes region and the plasma regions may be described as plug flow and non-plug flow regions. The effect of yie...

Streamline patterns and their local and global bifurcations in a two-dimensional peristaltic flow for an incompressible Newtonian fluid have been investigated. An analytical solution for the stream-function is found under a long-wavelength and low-Reynolds number approximation. The problem is solved in a moving coordinate system where a system of nonlinear autonomous differential equations can ...
