TLDR
The paper considers the phenomena of peristaltic transport of a non-Newtonian fluid represented as a power law fluid and shows the close proximity between analytical and numerical solutions when considering stream functions for various values of the flow behaviour index.Abstract:
The paper considers the phenomena of peristaltic transport of a non-Newtonian fluid represented as a power law fluid. The governing equations are the modified Navier-Stokes equations and the continuity equation in axisymmetric form. A solution is sought in terms of a perturbation series and it is shown the close proximity between analytical and numerical solutions when considering stream functions for various values of the flow behaviour index.read more

Peristaltic transport of a Casson fluid in an asymmetric channel.
P. Naga Rani,G. Sarojamma +1 more
TL;DR: The peristaltic transport of a Casson fluid in a two — dimensional asymmetric channel is studied under long- wavelength and low-Reynolds number assumption and the phenomena of trapping and reflux have been discussed in the symmetric case of the channel.

Analysis of non-Newtonian effects in peristaltic pumping
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of non-linear viscoelastic fluid properties on the pumping characteristics of a peristaltic system has been studied theoretically and the wave shape may be arbitrary and is specified for illustration purposes only.
