Abstract
The phenomenon of peristalsis has gathered significant attention from researchers due to its wide-ranging applications in fields such as biological sciences, industries, and biomechanics. Its practical relevance can be observed in various processes, including blending food in the digestive tract, flow in small blood vessels and the movement of cilia. Inspired by such useful applications, this theoretical study applies an analytical model that examines the movement of magnetically induced Sisko nanofluid in an asymmetric channel considering the factors like viscous dissipation, multiple slip, thermal radiation, and double diffusive convection. The fluid flow was administered using partial differential equations (PDE’s), transformed into a set of interconnected ordinary differential equations. These non-linear equations were further numerically solved by the NDSolve function in Mathematica. According to our outcomes, the temperature profile increases as the thermal slip factor rises. Moreover, the concentration and nanoparticle profile decrease with increasing values of the concentration slip and nanoparticle slip parameters. It can also determine that when the impact of thermal radiation increases, the temperature profile drops. Such a model has practical applications in simulating the small vessel transportation of particle in hemodynamics as well as in the field of biomedical and medical engineering for nanofluid peristaltic pumps.
