ABSTRACT
Mathematical modeling of the peristaltic flow of a Williamson fluid in a vertical asymmetric channel with heat transfer under
induced magnetic field is done in this paper. Solution is obtained by using the perturbation method as the equations are non
linear. The effect of various parameters on the pumping characteristics and on temperature is studied through graphs.
1. INTRODUCTION
Peristaltic pumping is a form of fluid transport that occurs when a progressive wave of area contraction or expansion
propagates along the length of distensible duct. Researchers have discussed the peristaltic flows due to its increasing
importance especially in physiology, biological systems and engineering. These includes urine transport from kidney to
bladder, movement of chyme in the gastrointestinal tract, transport of spermatozoa, in the ducts efferent of the
reproductive tracts and in the cervical canal, in movement of ovum in the female fallopian tube, in the vasomotion of
small blood vessels and in biomedical systems including roller and finger pumps etc. In industrial applications, these
flows occur in blood pumps in heart-lung machine, in sanitary fluid transport and transport of corrosive fluids. Since
the pioneering works of Lantham [9] and Shapiro et al. [18] a number of analytical, numerical and experimental
studies of peristaltic flows of different fluids have been reported under different conditions with reference to
physiological and mechanical situations
Several researchers considered the fluid to behave like a Newtonian fluid for physiological peristalsis including the flow
of blood in arterioles. But such a model cannot be suitable for blood flow unless the non-Newtonian nature of the fluid
is included in it. The non-Newtonian peristaltic flow using a constitutive equation for a second order fluid has been
investigated by Siddiqui et al. [19]. They have performed a perturbation analysis with a wave number, including
curvature and inertia effects and have determined range of validity of their perturbation solutions. The effects of third
order fluid on peristaltic transport in a planar channel were studied by Siddiqui et al. [20] and the corresponding
axisymmetric tube results were obtained by Hayat et al. [7]. Haroun [6] studied peristaltic transport of third order fluid
in an asymmetric channel. Ravi Kumar Y. V. K et al. [16] studied the peristaltic flow of a power-law fluid in an
asymmetric channel bounded by permeable beds. Peristaltic motion of a Williamson fluid in an asymmetric channel
was studied by Nadeem and Akram [14].
In all the above mentioned studies no porous media has been taken into account. The study of blood flow through
arteries are of considerable importance in many cardiovascular diseases particularly arteriosclerosis. In some
pathological situations, the distribution of fatty cholesterol and artery clogging blood clots in the lumen of coronary
artery can be considered as equivalent to a porous medium. Elshehawey et al. [4] have studied the peristaltic motion of
a Carreau fluid through a porous medium in a channel. Mekheimer and Arabi [10] studied the non-linear peristaltic
transport of MHD flow through a porous medium. Elshehawey [5] have studied the peristaltic flow of Newtonian fluid
through a porous medium in an asymmetric channel.
Recently Radhakrishnamurthy et al.and Radhakrishnamacharya [15] have investigated flow through vertical porous
tube with peristalsis and heat transfer. It is found that in trees there is a core region through which water does not flow
and water flows only through the outer region. The mechanism of peristaltic transport has been exploited for industrial
applications like sanitary fluid transport, blood pumps in heart lung machine and transport of corrosive fluid where the
tact of the fluid with the machinery parts is prohibited. The magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) peristaltic flow of a fluid is
Page 27
of interest in connection with certain problems of the movement of conductive physiological fluids e.g. the blood and
blood pump machines. The effect of magnetic field on the blood flow has been discussed by Stud ct al. [17], Agarwal
and Anwaruddin [1], Hayat et al. [8, 2] and Mekheimer [11].
Recently, some contributions have been made for the peristalsis in non-Newtonian fluids which have promising
applications in physiology [2, 3]. There are several investigations to study the effect of an endoscope on peristaltic
motion for a Newtonian fluid [12, 13]. An endoscope is very important for medical diagnosis and it has many clinical
applications. The endoscope now is a very important tool used for determining real reasons responsible for many
problems in the human organs in which the fluid is transported by peristaltic pumping such as stomach, small intestine,
etc. Also from fluid dynamic point of view, there is no difference between an endoscope and catheter.
Keeping in mind the applications of non-Newtonian fluid model and the non-linear nature of the governing equation,
the aim of the present paper is to study the peristaltic flow of a Williamson fluid in a vertical asymmetric channel with
heat transfer and porous medium.
2. MATHEMATICAL FORMULATION
We consider the peristaltic motion of a Williamson fluid through a porous medium in a two-dimensional symmetric
channel of width 2a. The flow is generated by sinusoidal wave trains propagating with constant speed c along the
channel walls. A rectangular co-ordinate system (X, Y) is chosen such that X-axis lies along the centre line of the
channel in the direction of wave propagation and Y-axis transverse to it. Since we are considering uniform channel
therefore the upper wall is maintained at temperature T1 Fig. 1 shows the schematic diagram of the channel. The wall
deformation is given by
b1 , b2 are the amplitudes of the waves, is the wave length, d 1 d 2 is the width of the channel, the phase
difference varies in the range 0 . 0 corresponds to asymmetric channel with waves out of phase and
the waves are in phase, and further b1 , b2 , d1 , d 2 and satisfies the condition
where

we introduce the following non-dimensional quantities where U and V are velocity components in the laboratory
frame , u and v are the velocity components in the wave frame and p and P are the pressure in wave and fixed
frames of reference respectively.
