Effects of magnetic field on the flow of a Jeffrey fluid through a porous medium in an annulus with peristalsis
Abstract
In this paper, we investigated the effect of magnetic field on the peristaltic transport of a Jeffrey fluid through a porous medium in an annulus. The analysis has been carried out in the wave frame of reference with long wavelength and zero Reynolds number assumptions. The expressions for the velocity field and the heat transfer coefficient are obtained analytically. The effects of various emerging parameters on the axial pressure gradient and pumping characteristics are discussed in detail with the aid of graphs.
