Long Wavelength Flow Analysis in a Curved Channel

Abstract: This study is concerned with the peristaltic flow of a viscous fluid in a curved channel. Mathematically the problem is governed by two partial differential equations. Closed form solutions of the stream function, axial velocity, and pressure gradient are developed under long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions. The influence of curvature is analyzed on various flow quantities of interest.

“…With this motivation, Sato et al [39] analyzed the peristaltic flow in a curved channel. Ali et al [40] reconsidered the analysis of [39] in the wave frame of reference. In continuation, Ali et al [41,42] discussed the peristaltic transport of third order and micropolar fluid in a curved channel.…”

“…The study performed by Sato et al 28 is pioneering in this direction. The results presented by Sato et al 28 were generalized by Ali et al, [29][30][31] Hayat et al, 32,33 Hina et al, [34][35][36] Ramanamurthy et al 37 and Narla et al 38 In this connection also the paper of Kalantari et al 39 is worth mentioning. It is related to those situation where the curvature of the channel, applied magnetic field and non-Newtonian effects are equally important.…”
