• PERISTALTIC TRANSPORT OF A JEFFREY FLUID IN AN INCLINED PLANAR CHANNEL WITH VARIABLE VISCOSITY UNDER THE EFFECT OF A MAGNETIC FIELD
Abstract
In the present paper, we studied the peristaltic flow of a Jeffrey fluid in an inclined two-dimensional channel in the presence of transverse magnetic field under the assumption of long wavelength. The flow is examined in a wave frame of reference moving with the velocity of the wave. The problem is formulated using perturbation expansion in terms of viscosity parameter . The governing equations are developed upto first order in the viscosity parameter . The expressions for the velocity and pressure gradient have been obtained. The effects of various emerging parameters on the pumping characteristics are studied through graphs in detail.
