Influence of Slip on Peristaltic Motion of a Nanofluid Prone to the Tube

摘要

Influence of slip on peristaltic motion of a nanofluid prone to the tube is studied under the assumption of long wavelength and low Reynolds number. The equations governing the flow are solved and closed-form expressions for velocity, pressure drop, time-averaged flux and frictional force have been obtained. The effects of various parameters like Brownian motion parameter, thermophoresis parameter, local temperature Grashof number, local nanoparticles Grashof number, slip parameter and inclination on these flow variables have been studied. Streamline patterns and trapping phenomena have been studied and sketched through graphs at the end.
