The aim of the present analysis is to discuss the mixed convective peristaltic flow of shear thinning hyperbolic tangent fluid under the effects of nanoparticles in a curved channel. The model considered for the nanofluid is to analyze the effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis parameter. The problem is formulated under the assumptions of long wavelength and low Reynolds number and then solved analytically using the homotopy perturbation method (HPM). The substantial features of related parameters are examined by sketching graphs. The most important observation of the analysis is that the velocity profiles are not symmetric about the central line of the curved channel.

This paper discusses the effects of wall properties on the peristaltic flow of an incompressible third grade fluid in a curved channel. Series solution is obtained under the approximation of long wavelength and low Reynolds number. Relation of stream function is derived. The variations of the interesting parameters entering into the problem are carefully analyzed. It is observed that the velocity profiles are not symmetric about the central line of the curved channel. Moreover, the bolus size increases with an increase in the curvature parameter in the upper half of the channel. Whereas it is found to decrease upon increasing the curvature parameter in the lower half of the channel.

AbstractThe peristaltic flow of nanofluids under the effect of slip conditions was theoretically investigated. The mathematical model was governed by a system of linear and non-linear partial differential equations with prescribed boundary conditions. Then, the exact solutions were successfully obtained and reported for the first time in the present work. These exact solutions were then used for studying the effects of the slip, thermophoresis, Brownian motion parameters and many others on the pressure rise, velocity profiles, temperature distribution, nanoparticle concentration and pressure gradient. In addition, it is proved that the obtained exact solutions are reduced to the literature results in the special cases.In the general case, it was found that on comparing the current solutions with the approximate ones obtained using the homotopy perturbation method in literature, remarkable differences have been detected for behaviour of the pressure rise, velocity profiles, temperature distribution, nanoparticle concentration and finally the pressure gradient. An example of these differences is about effect of the Brownian motion parameter on the velocity profile; where it was shown in this paper that the small values of this parameter have not a significant effect on the velocity, while this situation was completely different in the published work. Many other significant differences have been also discussed. Therefore, these observed differences recommend the necessity of including the convergence issue when applying the homotopy perturbation method or any other series solution method to solve a physical model. In conclusion. The current results may be considered as a base for any future analysis and/or comparisons.

Peristaltic transport of an incompressible viscous fluid due to an asymmetric waves propagating on the horizontal sidewalls of a rectangular duct is studied under long-wavelength and low-Reynolds number assumptions. The peristaltic wave train on the walls have different amplitudes and phase. The flow is investigated in a wave frame of reference moving with velocity of the wave. The effect of aspect ratio, phase difference, varying channel width and wave amplitudes on the pumping characteristics and trapping phenomena are discussed in detail. The results are compared to with those corresponding to Poiseuille flow.

Peristaltic flow of a Jeffrey fluid in an inclined asymmetric channel is undertaken when the no-slip condition at the channel wall is no longer valid. The considered fluid is incompressible and electrically conducting. The flow is investigated in a waveframe of reference moving with the velocity of the wave. The analytic solution has been derived for the stream function under long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions. The effect of slip and non-Newtonian parameter on the axial velocity and shear stress are discussed in detail. The salient features of pumping and trapping are discussed with particular focus on the effect of slip and non-Newtonian parameters.
