Abstract
This theoretical investigation explores the intricate interplay of slip, heat transfer, and magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD) on peristaltic flow within an asymmetrically inclined channel. The channel walls exhibit sinusoidal undulations to simulate flexibility. The governing equations for continuity, momentum, and energy are utilized to mathematically represent the flow dynamics. Employing the perturbation method, these nonlinear equations are systematically solved, yielding analytical expressions for key parameters such as stream function, temperature distribution, and pressure gradient. This study meticulously examines the influence of various physical parameters on flow characteristics, presenting comprehensive visualizations of flow streamlines, fluid axial velocity profiles, and pressure gradient distributions. Noteworthy findings include the observation that the axial velocity of the fluid increases by 55% when the slip parameter is increased from 0 to 0.1, indicative of enhanced fluid transport. Furthermore, the analysis reveals that the pressure gradient amplifies by 80% with increased magnetic field strength from 0.5 to 4, underscoring the significant role of MHD effects on overall flow behavior. In essence, this investigation elucidates the complex dynamics of peristaltic flow in an asymmetrically inclined channel under the combined influence of slip, heat transfer, and magnetohydrodynamics. It sheds light on fundamental mechanisms that govern fluid dynamics in complex geometries and under diverse physical conditions.
