Combine effects of Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and partial slip on peristaltic Blood flow of Ree-Eyring fluid with wall properties

In this article, combine effects of Magnetohydrodynamics and partial slip on Blood flow of Ree-Eyring fluid through a porous medium have been investigated. The walls of the non-uniform porous channel are considered as compliant. The governing equation of Ree-Eyring fluid for blood flow are simplified using long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximation. The obtained resulting equation are solved analytically and exact solution has been obtained. The impact of different physical parameters such as Hartmann number, slip parameter, porous parameter, wall rigidity parameter, wall tension and mass characterization parameter are taken into account. It is found that velocity distribution increases due to slip effects while its behavior is opposite for Hartmann number. Trapping mechanism has also taken under consideration by drawing contour streamlines. (C) 2016 Karabuk University. Publishing services by Elsevier B.V.
