• INFLUENCE OF PARTIAL SLIP ON THE PERISTALTIC TRANSPORT OF A MICROPOLAR FLUID IN AN INCLINED ASYMMETRIC CHANNEL
Abstract
Effect of slip on the peristaltic transport of a micropolar fluid in an inclined asymmetric channel has been studied under the assumptions of long-wavelength and low-Reynolds number. The analytical solution has been derived for the axial velocity, microrotation component. Expressions for the pressure rise, stream function and the shear stress are also obtained. The effects of pertinent parameters on the pressure rise per wavelength are evaluated numerically. The phenomenon of trapping is also discussed.
Keywords
