Hall effects on peristaltic flow of couple stress fluid in an inclined asymmetric channel

Abstract

Effect of Hall current on peristaltic transport of couple stress fluid in an inclined asymmetric channel is investigated. An incompressible fluid is conducting in the presence of inclined magnetic field. Problem formulation is developed through heat and mass transfer aspects. Soret and Dufour effects are present. Long wavelength and low Reynolds number approaches are adopted. Closed form expression for longitudinal velocity, pressure gradient, temperature and concentration are presented. Important results reflecting the influence of embedded parameters in the problems have been pointed out. Pumping and trapping phenomena are especially focused.
