Peristaltic Transport through Eccentric Cylinders: Mathematical Model

Abstract: This paper discusses the effect of peristaltic transport on the fluid flow in the gap between two eccentric tubes (eccentric-annulus flows). The inner tube is uniform, rigid, while the outer tube has a sinusoidal wave traveling down its wall. The flow analysis has been developed for low Reynolds number and long wave length approximation. The velocity and the pressure gradient have been obtained in terms of the dimensionless flow rateQ¯, timet, azimuthal coordinate θ and eccentricity parameter ϵ (the parameter … Show more

“…The influence of lateral walls on peristaltic flow in a rectangular duct has been described by Reddy et al (2005). Mekheimer et al (2012) have studied the mathematical model of peristaltic transport through an eccentric cylinders. The concept of nanofluid in peristalsis has been explored by some of the researchers.…”

“…Many researchers have explored the studies of peristaltic flows with different types of Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids (Tripathi et al 2010;Tripathi 2011;Mekheimer et al 2013;Kothandapani and Srinivas 2008) . Reddy et al (2005) have analyzed the influence of lateral walls on peristaltic flow in a rectangular duct and concluded that the sagittal cross section of the uterus may be better approximated by a tube of rectangular cross section than a twodimensional channel.…”

“…The peristalsis of viscous fluid in tiny or zero Re and δ approximation has been scrutinized by Shapiro et al Afterward, several investigators have operated for peristaltic transport of viscous subject to unlike conditions. Further research in this direction can be regarded via studies (see Mekheimer et al, Ellahi et al, and Hayat et al).…”
