Peristaltic Induced Flow Of A Two-Layered Suspension In Non-Uniform Channel, Amit Medhavi, Dharmendra Singh, Ajay S. Yadav, Ramesh S. Gautam Dec 2011

Peristaltic Induced Flow Of A Two-Layered Suspension In Non-Uniform Channel, Amit Medhavi, Dharmendra Singh, Ajay S. Yadav, Ramesh S. Gautam

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

Peristaltic transport of a two-layered particulate suspension in a non-uniform channel has been investigated. The coupled differential equations for both the fluid and the particle phases in the central as well as in the peripheral layers have been solved and the expression for the flow rate, the pressure rise and the friction force has been derived. The results obtained are discussed both qualitatively and quantitatively in brief. The significance of the particle concentration as well as the peripheral layer has been well explained.


Peristaltic Induced Flow Of A Particulate Suspension In A Non-Uniform Geometry, Amit Medhavi, U. K. Singh Jun 2011

Peristaltic Induced Flow Of A Particulate Suspension In A Non-Uniform Geometry, Amit Medhavi, U. K. Singh

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The flow induced by sinusoidal peristaltic waves of a particle-fluid suspension in a twodimensional diverging channel under low Reynolds number and long wavelength approximation has been investigated. The analytical expression for the flow characteristics-the flow rate, pressure rise and friction force have been derived. Moreover, we present some results concerning the dependence of these quantities on the geometrical parameters.


A Theoretical Model For Blood Flow In Small Vessels, V. P. Srivastava Jun 2007

A Theoretical Model For Blood Flow In Small Vessels, V. P. Srivastava

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

A two-fluid model consisting of a core region of suspension of all the erythrocytes (particles) in plasma (fluid) assumed to be a particle-fluid mixture and a peripheral layer of cell-free plasma (Newtonian fluid), has been proposed to represent blood flow in small diameter tubes. The analytical results obtained in the proposed model for effective viscosity, velocity profiles and flow rate have been evaluated numerically for various values of the parameters available from published works. Quantitative comparison has shown that present model suitability represents blood flow at hematocrit (less than or equal to 40%) and in vessels up to 70 micrometers …
