This study deals with the problem of blood flow through an axially non-symmetric but radially
symmetric stenosis, when an externally uniform magnetic field is applied on the flow. The …

We demonstrate a peristaltic micropump that utilizes traveling waves on polymer
membranes to transport liquids. This micropump requires no valves and, more importantly …

Peristaltic motion arises in many physiological, medical, pharmaceutical and industrial
processes. Control of the fluid volume rate and pressure is crucial for pumping applications …

Two geometrical models are developed to simulate fluid transport via peristaltic motion in
tubes of uniform or linearly decreasing radius: A 2-D axisymmetric tubular model and a 2-D …

The primary focus of this research is the design of wall-driven peristaltic pumps based on
first principles with minimal simplifying assumptions and implementation by numerical …

Peristaltic pumps are positive displacement pumps that mechanically imitate the peristaltic
process. The unique design and operation of the pumps allows it to have a wide range of …

Flow control constitutes the utmost objective of fluid dynamics. In a multitude of techniques
used for regulating the flow parameters and characteristics, moving solid parts are involved …

A two-dimensional unsteady numerical simulation using Immersed Boundary method is
carried out to investigate the fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics in a channel of …

In the present study, the flow characteristics of a peristaltic micropump were numerically
analyzed. A channel wall motion of the micropump was simulated using a moving mesh …
