Abstract:
In the present paper the results of numerical modeling of peristaltic flow of a Carreau fluid in a vertical asymmetric channel are presented. The effects of slip and heat transfer have been analyzed. Using the approximation of long wavelength, low Reynolds number and with the suitable dimensionless variables, the reduced equations have been solved analytically by regular perturbation method. The expressions for velocity, stream function, temperature, pressure gradient and pressure rise have been computed which strongly depend on the physical parameters of the Carreau fluid. With the help of analytical results the expression for pressure rise has been computed using numerical integration scheme. To reveal the tendency of the solutions, typical results for velocity, temperature, stream function, pressure gradient and pressure rise are presented for different values of controlling parameters.
