Abstract

Peristalsis is the most dynamic phenomenon that is significant in the biomedical domain and offers considerable promise in microscale fluids. For the past few years, this biomimetic (peristaltic) phenomenon attracted the attention of the research community because of its massive applications in numerous medical and industrial domains. In the present study, the steady, laminar rheology of biological fluid from a biomimetic (peristaltic) channel is considered. The rheological equations are expressed in the Cartesian system, and the porosity effects are modelled (added) on a body force term of the momentum equation. The current analysis depends on the creeping phenomena and long wavelength. The closed-form solutions are acquired by using integration on the rheological equations subject to suitable boundary conditions. The rheology is controlled by two embedded parameters, the porosity and non-Newtonian parameters. It is shown using graphs that the magnitude of axial velocity is strongly affected by the larger strength of porosity (Darcy’s number) and non-Newtonian (couple stress) parameters. We noticed the impacts of involved rheological constraints on pumping and trapping phenomena in the light of porous effects. Additionally, the wavy pattern of sinusoidal waves is utilised in the present analysis to increase the efficiency of the peristaltic pump. By increasing the porosity impacts, the magnitudes of velocity profile and pressure gradient of a biofluid are increased. The porosity has a dynamic role in the augmentation of peristaltic pumping. The impacts of couple stress parameter reduces the viscous effects. These outcomes may be useful in bioengineering (drug delivery schemes) and chemical processes.
