PERISTALTIC FLOW OF A COUPLE STRESS FLUID THROUGH A TAPERED ASYMMETRIC CHANNEL APPLICATION TO EMBRYO TRANSPORT IN UTERINE CAVITY

The peristaltic transport of a couple stress fluids in the asymmetric channel is examined, concealed by long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions. The tapered asymmetric channel is produced due to the peristaltic wave on the walls of the non-uniform channel having alternative phases and amplitudes. Excellent results for the axial velocity, pressure gradient and stream function have been determined. Numerical evaluation has also been found for investigating the pumping characteristics with various flow values of parameters. It has been shown that the peristaltic flow pumping decreases with an increase in non-uniform theological parameters. Further, our conclusion is created to be very relevant to Srivastava and Srivastava [23] when the absence of the tapered asymmetric nature of the channel and couple stress fluid parameter.
