Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulation and Visualization of Newtonian and Non-Newtonian Transport in a Peristaltic Micro-Pump

Abstract: Motivated by recent developments in bio-inspired medical engineering micro-scale pumps, in this paper, a three-dimensional sequential simulation of a peristaltic micro-pump is described to provide deeper insight into the hydromechanics of laminar, viscous flow in peristaltic propulsion. The Carreau and power-law models are employed for non-Newtonian behavior. The commercial software package ANSYS Fluent is utilized to conduct a numerical simulation of laminar peristaltic pump fluid dynamics, based on the finit… Show more

“…At present, researchers are scrutinizing viscoelastic liquids due to their broad engineering and industrial applications. These liquids are used in prescribed medications [21], colloidal matter, physiological manufacturing, the manufacturing of volatiles, food manufacturing [22,23], oil reservoir engineering, fabric technologies, melts of polymeric, thermal circuit processing [24,25] and chemical/nuclear industries [26]. Stress and strain are not enough to distinguish between the different characteristics of these liquids.…”

“…They presented perturbation solutions using dimensionless wavenumber for an infinite harmonic traveling wave, and derived expressions for velocity field, pressure gradient and flow rate in terms of rheological parameters. Gendy et al 23 applied a finite volume method to simulate the pumping of Carreau and power-law fluids in a micro- pump. They computed velocity, pressure and vorticity contours and considered an elastic wall in the analysis.…”
