Cilia beating influences bio-fluid flow, and conduits with ciliated surfaces serve numerous
purposes. Cilia are hair-like adjuncts that produce liquid drive and cell locomotion. This …

This work deals with gliding motion of bacteria over a non-Newtonian slime layer attached to
a solid substrate. The surface of a glider is approximated with a simple wavy two …

The gliding motility is widely observed in rod-shaped bacteria known as gliding bacteria,
which produce waves on their surfaces and leaves a sticky layer of ooze slime. In the current …

Inspired by the prevalence of non-Newtonian liquids in biological flows, our aim in this
article is to elaborate on the flow of Carreau-Yasuda fluid generated by wavy cilia inside the …

The natural gas reserves and gas recovery rate of tight gas sandstone reservoirs in the
Sulige gas field in the Ordos Basin play a crucial role in China's natural gas industry. This …

The suspension of nanoparticles in fluid influences several properties of the resulting fluid.
Many production and manufacturing applications need knowledge of the heat transference …

Motivated by emerging high-temperature manufacturing processes deploying nano-
polymeric coatings, the present study investigates nonlinear thermally radiative Oldroyd-B …

The role of marine microbes in the aquatic ecosystem is dynamic. The current work explores
the fluid mechanics of gliding organisms near a porous boundary. Surface roughness effects …

This study aimed at investigating the biomechanics of sperm swimming through a passive
channel. The spermatozoa are modeled as a Taylor's swimming sheet which is immersed in …

The peristaltic pump is a high precision biomimetic pump widely used in the medical
industry. However, the pump has flow pulsation, due to its special structure. The serious flow …
