Abstract

Abstract: The steady laminar flow of viscous fluid from a curved porous domain under a radial magnetic field is considered. The fluid flow by a curved domain is due to peristaltic waves present at the boundary walls. The whole analysis is based on porosity (Darcy number) effects. Moreover, the effects of second-order slip on the rheology analysis are also discussed. Due to the complex nature of the flow regime, we have governed the rheological equations by using curvilinear coordinates in the fixed frame. The physical influence of magnetic (Hartmann number) and porosity (Darcy number) parameters on the rheological features of peristaltic transportation are argued in detailed (in the wave frame). Additionally, in the current study, the complex wavy pattern on both boundary walls of the channel is used. The whole rheological study is based on ancient, but medically valid, assumptions of creeping phenomena and long wavelength assumptions. Analytical solutions of the governing equations are obtained by using the simple integration technique in Mathematica software 11.0. The core motivation of the present analysis is to perceive the physical influence of embedded parameters, such as the dimensionless radius of the curvature parameter, magnetic parameter, porosity parameter, different amplitude ratios of complex peristaltic waves, first- and second-order slip parameters, on the axial velocity, pressure gradient, local wall shear stress, tangential component of the extra-stress tensor, pumping and trapping phenomena.
