Effect of heat transfer on the flow of herschel-bulkley fluid in a compliant channel with peristalsis: Peristaltic transport of herschel-bulkley fluid

摘要

The present study discusses the peristaltic flow of Herschel-Bulkley fluid in a two-dimensional flexible channel. The heat transfer effects are also considered and the analysis has been done by taking a non-uniform channel into account. Analytical expressions of solution have been obtained using long wavelength analysis. Influence of various emerging parameters has been sketched and discussed through graphs.
