Peristaltic mechanism in an inclined asymmetric channel soaked with porous media and under magnetic effects: numerical simulation equipped with finite element method

Abstract

This study is proposed for the numerical simulation of the peristaltic mechanism using the finite element method with the Galerkin residual technique to explore peristaltic transportation under the action of an externally applied magnetic field passing through an inclined asymmetric channel saturated with porous media. The Navier-stokes equations are solved for the peristaltic mechanism non-linearly by the exemption of lubrication theory to study the inertial effects. The numerical simulations and results are obtained by applying the finite element method based on quadratic triangular elements. It is observed that pressure rise per wavelength is enhanced by increasing the angle of inclination.
