Abstract
The objective of this paper is to carry out the effect of the MHD on the peristaltic transport of blood in a non-uniform channel have been explored under long wavelength approximation with low (zero) Reynolds number. Blood is made of an incompressible, viscous and electrically conducting. Explicit expressions for the axial velocity, axial pressure gradient are derived using long wavelength assumptions with slip and regularity conditions. It is determined that the pressure gradient diminishes as the couple stress parameter increments and it decreases as the magnetic parameter increments. We additionally concentrate the embedded parameters through graphs.

Peristaltic pumping with long wavelengths at low Reynolds number

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of peristaltic wave propagation on the flow of fluid in a tube and showed that the theoretical pressure rise per wavelength decreases linearly with increasing time-mean flow and that the percentage of reflux flow can be very high.

Peristaltic flow of blood under effect of a magnetic field in a non-uniform channels

TL;DR: The effect of a magnetic field on peristaltic transport of blood in a non-uniform two-dimensional channels has been investigated under zero Reynolds number with long wavelength approximation and it is found that the pressure rise decreases as the couple-stress fluid parameter @c increases and increases as the Hartmann number M increases.
