Effects of Heat Transfer, Magnetic Field and Space Porosity on Peristaltic Flow of a Newtonian Fluid in a Tapered Channel

Abstract:

In this paper, the influences of magnetic field and porous space of peristaltic flow of a Newtonian fluid in the tapered channel are studied. Flow analysis is also discussed in the presence of heat transfer. A model of wall-induced fluid flow within an infinite tapered channel having symmetric wall displacements and phase difference is developed. Expressions of dimensionless stream function and temperature are obtained analytically by employing long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions. The effects of various emerging parameters on the flow characteristics are shown and discussed with the help of graphs. It has been found that The geometric parameters likes, non-uniform parameter, amplitudes and phase difference control the fluid transport phenomena.
