Peristaltic Transport of Jeffrey NanoFluid in Curved Channels

摘要

The paper deals with a theoretical investigation of the transport of a Jeffrey nanofluid through two-dimensional curved channel undergoing peristalsis. The flow is investigated under the assumption of long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximations. The distribution of velocity, temperature and nanoparticles concentration are discussed for various parameters governing the flow with the simultaneous effects of Brownian motion and thermophoretic diffusion of nanoparticles.
