Peristaltic mechanism in a non-uniform inclined tube: power law model
This note look at the peristaltic flow of a Power Law fluid through a non-uniform inclined cylindrical tube. In the cylindrical coordinates, a two dimensional mathematical model is formulated.Under the long wavelength and small Reynolds number approximations, the governing equations have been linear...
