A Faculty Member from the Department of Mathematics Publishes a Scientific Paper on the Effect of Rotation and Porous Medium on the Peristaltic Flow of a Pseudoplastic Fluid (MHD) through a Waveform Channel

Publishing a Scientific Paper

Assistant Professor Dr. Muhammad Razzaq Salman published a scientific paper titled “Rotation and Porous Medium Impact on MHD Peristaltic Flow of Pseudoplastic Fluid through a Waveform Channel” in the Journal of Advanced Research in Fluid Mechanics and Thermal Sciences, which is indexed in Scopus.
The research aimed to conduct an in-depth study of peristaltic transport, specifically addressing the unique properties of non-Newtonian quasi-plastic fluids within a waveform channel, which include the effects of rotation, magnetic forces, and the presence of a porous medium. This work delves into the subtle interactions of these effects, providing a new perspective on the complex dynamics associated with peristaltic transport through these types of channels. Continuity and motion equations, a mathematical formulation of the basic equations, were developed. The research also included transforming nonlinear, dimensionless ordinary differential equations using appropriate transformations, focusing on low Reynolds number and long-wavelength approximations, using perturbation techniques with respect to the quasi-plastic fluid parameter.
The study reached an analytical solution for the derived flow function. The velocity, pressure gradient, pressure rise, and trapping graphs were analyzed and discussed, taking into account the influence of the vortex coefficient, Hartmann number, permeability coefficient, and other emerging factors using Mathematica.
