Heat Transfer and Modified Darcy's Principle in Peristaltic Motion with Hartmann Boundary Layer
Abstract
This research contains the Hartmann boundary layer effectiveness in peristaltic flow of non-Newtonian viscoelastic fluids through asymmetric channel walls. Due to the Hartmann boundary layer, Hartmann number is considered very large. Porosity effects are included in view of modified Darcy's principle. Energy equation is modelled in the presence of viscous dissipation and Joule heating features. No slip condition for fluid velocity is considered at both channel walls. Large wavelength and dominating viscous forces implementation reduce the PDEs into ODEs. The resulting system of ODEs approximate solution is attained through perturbation and matching techniques for large magnetic field effects. Lastly the obtained approximate analytic solution is utilized to study the varying behaviour of velocity and temperature profiles against involved sundry parameters through graphs.
