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.

Mixed convection flow of magnetohydrodynamic micropolar fluid due to a porous heated/cooled deformable plate: Exact solutions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors deal with the magnetohydrodynamic mixed convection flow and heat as the consequence of a micropolar fluid past a heated or cooled stretching permeable surface by taking into account heat generation and absorption effects.

Homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions and heat source/sink effects in MHD peristaltic flow of micropolar fluid with Newtonian heating in a curved channel

TL;DR: In this paper, the peristaltic motion of micropolar fluid in the presence of radial magnetic field was investigated and the resulting expressions for pressure gradient, pressure rise, velocity, temperature, concentration and stream function were utilized and discussed graphically.

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.

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.
