Effects of peripheral-layer viscosity on peristaltic transport of a bio-fluid
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 April 2006
Abstract
The effects of peripheral-layer viscosity on the flow characteristics of a bio-fluid due to peristaltic transport has been investigated. It is shown that, for a given pressure drop, the flow flux increases and the frictional force decreases as the viscosity of the peripheral-layer fluid decreases. However, for zero pressure drop, the flux does not depend upon this viscosity while the friction force decreases as it decreases.
The analysis has been applied and compared with observed data.
