Peristaltic Transport of a Couple Stress Fluid through a Horizontal Tapered Asymmetric Channel

Abstract

Abstract: The peristaltic transport of a Couple stress fluid in the horizontal tapered asymmetric channel is examined, concealed by long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions. The tapered asymmetric channel is produced due to the peristaltic motion on the walls of the non-uniform channel having alternative amplitudes and phases. Excellent velocity, pressure gradient, and stream function results have been determined. Numerical evaluation has also been found for investigating the pumping characteristics with various flow values of parameters. It has been shown that the peristaltic transport pumping decreases with an increase in non-uniform rheological parameters. Further, our conclusion is created to be very relevant to [19] when the absence of the tapered asymmetric nature of the channel and couple stress fluid parameter.
