Abstract:
Present manuscript focuses on the Gyrotactic microorganism peristaltic transportation in a curved channel. The channel is considered to be filled with nanoscaled particles suspended in the base fluid. Newtonian namely, water is taken as the base fluid. The mathematical formulation is carried out in curvilinear coordinates. Governing equations are transformed from fixed frame to wave frame and series solutions of nonlinear equations in terms of stream function, temperature, concentration and microorganism density profiles are derived by means of Homotopy perturbation method. Effect of pertinent emerging parameters is displayed and discussed through graphs. Graphs are plotted for pressure rise to examine peristaltic and augmented pumping regions. Present finding may be beneficial in academic research and this theoretical investigation may provide a general approach for microorganisms (bacteria) transport in curved veins and arteries of animals and human.
