Numerical Study on Creeping Flow of Burgers’ Fluids through a Peristaltic Tube

Motivated by the objective of improving an understanding of the complex rheological fluid dynamics in fluid engineering and biomedical engineering, we consider the creeping flow of Burgers’ fluid with a fractional model through a peristaltic tube in the present article. Homotopy analysis method is used to solve the problem and obtain the approximate analytical solution in terms of axial velocity, volumetric flow rate, pressure gradient, stream function and mechanical efficiency under the long wavelength approximation. It is assumed that the cross-section of the tube varies sinusoidally along the length of tube. The impacts of fractional parameters, material constants, time and amplitude on the pressure difference, frictional force across one wavelength and trapping, are depicted numerically. It is found that the second material constant helps the flow pattern, whereas the other three material constants resist it through the peristaltic tube. The effects of fractional parameters on flow pattern are found to be opposite to each other.

Peristaltic flow of a fractional second grade fluid through a cylindrical tube

The investigation is to explore the transportation of a viscoelastic fluid with fractional second grade model by peristalsis through a cylindrical tube under the assumptions of long wavelength and low Reynolds number. Analytical solution of problem is obtained by using Caputo?s definition. It is assumed that the cross-section of the tube varies sinusoidally along the length of tube. The effects of fractional parameter, material constant and amplitude on the pressure and friction force across one wavelength are discussed numerically with the help of illustrations. It is found that pressure decreases with increase in fractional parameter whereas increases with increase in magnitude of material constant or time. The pressure for the flow of second grade fluid is more than that for the flow of Newtonian fluid.

Influence of slip condition on peristaltic transport of a viscoelastic fluid with fractional Burger’s model

The investigation is to explore the transportation of a viscoelastic fluid with fractional Burgers? model by peristalsis through a channel under the influence of wall slip condition. This analysis has been carried out under the assumption of long wavelength and low Reynolds number. An approximate analytical solution of the problem is obtained by using Homotopy Analysis method (HAM). It is assumed that the cross-section of the channel varies sinusoidally along the length of channel. The expressions for axial velocity, volume flow rate and pressure gradient are obtained. The effects of fractional parameters ? and ?, material constants ?1,?2,?3, slip parameter k and amplitude ? on the pressure difference and friction force across one wavelength are discussed numerically and with the help of illustrations.

Peristaltic flow of viscoelastic fluid with fractional Maxwell model through a channel

The paper presents the transportation of viscoelastic fluid with fractional Maxwell model by peristalsis through a channel under long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximations. The propagation of wall of channel is taken as sinusoidal wave propagation (contraction and relaxation). Homotopy perturbation method (HPM) and Adomian decomposition method (ADM) are used to obtain the analytical approximate solutions of the problem. The expressions of axial velocity, volume flow rate and pressure gradient are obtained. The effects of fractional parameters ( α ) , relaxation time ( λ 1 ) and amplitude ( ϕ ) on the pressure difference and friction force across one wavelength are calculated numerically for different particular cases and depicted through graphs.
