Peristaltic Movement of a Dusty Fluid in a Curved Configuration with Mass Transfer

Abstract

This paper discusses the impact of mass transfer on the peristaltic flow of a dusty fluid in a curved configuration with elastic properties of the walls. A perturbation solution is being obtained which resolves the governing equations in which wave number is taken small. The expressions for concentration and stream function of fluid and particle phases are being obtained. The salient features of trapping phenomena are being discussed explicitly. It has been shown that the size of bolus expands by increasing curvature effects. The trapped bolus expands for fluid particles as ± increases and has opposite effect for dust particles.
