Abstract:
The impact of lateral walls and partial slip on peristaltic pumping of a couple fluid in rectangular duct with different wave forms has been discussed in the current article. By means of wave frame of reference the flow is explored traveling away from fixed frame with velocity c. The peristaltic waves generating on horizontal surface walls of rectangular duct are considered under lubrication technique. Mathematical modelling of couple fluid for three dimensional flow are first discussed in detail. Reynolds number approximation and low long wave length are used to simplify the proposed problem. The exact solutions of velocity, pressure gradient, pressure rise and stream function have been found. Numerical and graphical results are displayed to see the behaviour of diverse emerging parameters.
