This paper investigates fluid motion generated by cilia and a pressure gradient in a curved channel. The flow analysis is carried out in the presence of heat transfer and radial magnetic field. The leading equations are simplified under the familiar suppositions of large wavelength and small Reynolds number approximations. An exact solution has been developed for the velocity profile. The flow characteristics of the viscous fluid are computed in the presence of cilia and metachronal wave velocity. The effects of several stimulating parameters on the flow and heat transfer are studied in detail through graphs. It is found that symmetry of the velocity profile is broken owing to bending of the channel. The radially varying magnetic field decreases the velocity field, but near the left ciliated wall it induces the opposite behavior. It is also found that velocity profile increases due to increase in buoyancy forces throughout the domain. Numerical consequences for velocity profile are also accessible in the table for diverse values of the physical parameters.
