Simulation of mixed convection flow for a physiological breakdown of Jeffrey six-constant fluid model with convective boundary condition

Abstract

This paper deals with a study on flow of fluid which exhibits the characteristics of both ideal fluids and elastic solid and shows partial elastic recovery. For these types of fluids, Jeffrey six-constant model will be used that illustrates the most striking feature connected with the deformation of a viscoelastic substance and simultaneously displays the fluid-like and solid-like characteristics. The flow of the proposed fluid model will be generated in an inclined tube by sinusoidal wave trains propagation with constant speed along the walls of the tube. The governing equations of the fluid along with energy equation are modeled and simplified by using low Reynolds number and long wavelength assumptions. These equations will be solved by utilizing the homotopy perturbation technique and results of flow will be displayed in graphical form under the effects of Jeffrey model’s parameters.
