Mass Transfer Effects on the Mucus Fluid with Pulsatile Flow Influence of the Electromagnetic Field
TL;DR: In this article , the influence of pulsatile flow on the oscillatory motion of an incompressible conducting boundary layer mucus fluid flowing through porous media in a channel with elastic walls is investigated.
Abstract: The influence of pulsatile flow on the oscillatory motion of an incompressible conducting boundary layer mucus fluid flowing through porous media in a channel with elastic walls is investigated. The oscillatory flow is treated as a cyclical time-dependent flux. The Laplace transform method using the Womersley number is used to solve non-linear equations controlling the motion through porous media under the influence of an electromagnetic field. The theoretical pulsatile flow of two liquid phase concurrent fluid streams, one kinematic and the other viscoelastic, is investigated in this study. To extend the model for various physiological fluids, we postulate that the viscoelastic fluid has several distinct periods. We also apply our analytical findings to mucus and airflow in the airways, identifying the wavelength that increases dynamic mucus permeability. The microorganism’s thickness, velocity, energy, molecular diffusion, skin friction, Nusselt number, Sherwood number, and Hartmann number are evaluated. Discussion is also supplied in various sections to investigate the mucosal flow process.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the pumping of an electrically conducting particle-fluid suspension due to metachronal wave propulsion of beating cilia in a two-dimensional channel with heat and mass transfer under a transverse magnetic field.
Abstract: Biologically inspired pumping systems are of great interest in modern engineering since they
achieve enhanced efficiency and circumvent the need for moving parts and maintenance. Industrial applications also often feature two-phase flows. In this article, motivated by these applications, the pumping of an electrically conducting particle-fluid suspension due to metachronal wave propulsion of beating cilia in a two-dimensional channel with heat and mass transfer under a transverse magnetic field is investigated theoretically. The governing equations for mass and momentum conservation for fluid- and particle-phases are formulated by ignoring the inertial forces and invoking the long wavelength approximation. The Jeffrey viscoelastic model is employed to simulate non-Newtonian characteristics. The normalized resulting differential equations are solved analytically. Symbolic software is employed to evaluate the results and simulate the influence of different parameters on flow characteristics. Results are visualized graphically with carefully selected and viable data.

TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical study for magnetohydrodynamic pumping of electro-conductive couple stress physiological liquids (e.g. blood) through a two-dimensional ciliated channel is conducted.
Abstract: A theoretical study is conducted for magnetohydrodynamic pumping of electro-conductive couple stress physiological liquids (e.g. blood) through a two-dimensional ciliated channel. A geometric model is employed for the cilia which are distributed at equal intervals and produce a whip-like motion under fluid interaction which obeys an elliptic trajectory. A metachronal wave is mobilized by the synchronous beating of cilia and the direction of wave propagation is parallel to the direction of fluid flow. A transverse static magnetic field is imposed transverse to the channel length. The Stokes’ couple stress (polar) rheological model is utilized to characterize the liquid. The normalized two-dimensional conservation equations for mass, longitudinal and transverse momentum are reduced with lubrication approximations (long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions) and feature a fourth order linear derivative in axial velocity representing couple stress contribution. A coordinate transformation is employed to map the unsteady problem from the wave laboratory frame to a steady problem in the wave frame. No slip conditions are imposed at the channel walls. The emerging linearized boundary value problem is solved analytically, and expressions presented for axial (longitudinal) velocity, volumetric flow rate, shear stress function and pressure rise. The flow is effectively controlled by three geometric parameters, viz cilia eccentricity parameter, wave number and cilia length and two physical parameters, namely magnetohydrodynamic body force parameter and couple stress non-Newtonian parameter. Analytical solutions are numerically evaluated with MATLAB software. Axial velocity is observed to be enhanced in the core region with greater wave number whereas it is suppressed markedly with increasing cilia length, couple stress and magnetic parameters, with significant flattening of profiles with the latter two parameters. Axial pressure gradient is decreased with eccentricity parameter whereas it is elevated with cilia length, in the channel core region. Increasing couple stress and magnetic field parameter respectively enhance and suppress pressure gradient across the entire channel width. The pressure-flow rate relationship is confirmed to be inversely linear and pumping, free pumping and augmented pumping zones are all examined. Bolus trapping is also analyzed. The study is relevant to MHD biomimetic blood pumps.

TL;DR: An analytical study of pressure-driven flow of micropolar non-Newtonian physiological fluids through a channel comprising two parallel oscillating walls, relevant to hemodynamics in narrow capillaries and also bio-inspired micro-fluidic devices.
Abstract: In this paper, we present an analytical study of pressure-driven flow of micropolar non-Newtonian physiological fluids through a channel comprising two parallel oscillating walls. The cilia are arranged at equal intervals and protrude normally from both walls of the infinitely long channel. A metachronal wave is generated due to natural beating of cilia and the direction of wave propagation is parallel to the direction of fluid flow. Appropriate expressions are presented for deformation via longitudinal and transverse velocity components induced by the ciliary beating phenomenon with cilia assumed to follow elliptic trajectories. The conservation equations for mass, longitudinal and transverse (linear) momentum and angular momentum are reduced in accordance with the long wavelength and creeping Stokesian flow approximations and then normalized with appropriate transformations. The resulting non-linear moving boundary value problem is solved analytically for constant micro-inertia density, subject to physically realistic boundary conditions. Closed-form expressions are derived for axial velocity, angular velocity, volumetric flow rate and pressure rise. The transport phenomena are shown to be dictated by several non-Newtonian parameters, including micropolar material parameter and Eringen coupling parameter, and also several geometric parameters, viz eccentricity parameter, wave number and cilia length. The influence of these parameters on streamline profiles (with a view to addressing trapping features via bolus formation and evolution), pressure gradient and other characteristics are evaluated graphically. Both axial and angular velocities are observed to be substantially modified with both micropolar rheological parameters and furthermore are significantly altered with increasing volumetric flow rate. Free pumping is also examined. An inverse relationship between pressure rise and flow rate is computed which is similar to that observed in Newtonian fluids. The study is relevant to hemodynamics in narrow capillaries and also bio-inspired micro-fluidic devices.

TL;DR: Theoretical stud of a rheological fluid suspended with two types of nanoparticles through a steep channel is presented in this article, where each suspension is formed by using the non-Newtonian Casson fluid model as the base liquid.
Abstract: Theoretical stud of a rheological fluid suspended with two types of nanoparticles through a steep channel is presented in this article. Each suspension is formed by using the non-Newtonian Casson fluid model as the base liquid. Particulate flows are generated mainly due to the effects of gravitational force. In addition to this, the contribution of transversely applied magnetic fields is also considered. Further, the flow dynamics of Casson multiphase flows are compared with the ones suspended with the Newtonian fluid model. A closed-form solution is obtained for the mathematical modeled nonlinear partial differential equations which are transformed into a set of the ordinary differential equation. Separate expressions for volumetric flow rate and pressure gradient have been formulated, as well. Numerical results computed in the different tables show that Hafnium particles gain more momentum than crystal particles. Owing to, many engineering applications of highly thick multiphase flows, such as in chemical and textile industries, it is evident that Casson multiphase suspensions are quite suitable for coating purposes. Moreover, magnetized multiphase flows are compared with the previous investigation as the limiting case for the validation.
