Applications of magnetohydrodynamics in biological systems-a review on the numerical studies
TL;DR: The results indicated that during a surgery when it is necessary to drop blood flow or reduce tissue temperature, it may be achieved by using a magnetic field, and the trapping is an important phenomenon in peristaltic flows that causes the formation of thrombus in blood and the movement of food bolus in gastrointestinal tract.

Magnetic field and rotation effects on peristaltic transport of a Jeffrey fluid in an asymmetric channel
TL;DR: In this paper, the peristaltic flow of Jeffrey fluid in an asymmetric rotating channel is studied and the effect of the Hartmann number, the ratio of relaxation to retardation times, time-mean flow, rotation and the phase angle on the pressure gradient, pressure rise, streamline, axial velocity and shear stress are discussed in detail and shown graphically.

Theory of Micropolar Fluids
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived equations of motion, constitutive equations and boundary conditions for a class of fluids named micropolar fluids, which respond to micro-rotational motions and spin inertia and therefore can support couple stress and distributed body couples.

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.
