Analysis of peristalsis blood flow mechanism using non-newtonian fluid and variable liquid characteristics

Abstract

This study simulates the peristalsis mechanism using non-Newtonian third-grade fluid and considers variable fluid characteristics along with electroosmosis, slip, and chemical reactions. The governing equations are designed to account for low Reynolds numbers and long wavelengths. Considering the diverse variables involved, the study delves into the effects of liquid property variations on velocity, temperature, concentration, and trapping. The graphical depiction of velocity and temperature profiles serves to elucidate the consequences of diverse fluid characteristics, demonstrating a significant reduction in these parameters.
