...Dharmendra Tripathi Motivated by the objective of improving an understanding of the complex rheological fluid dynamics in fluid engineering and biomedical engineering, we consider the creeping flow of Burgers’ fluid with a fractional model through a peristaltic tube in the present article. Homotopy...

... of the entrance pressure by using a hemispherical model for the control volume for finite aspect ratio. As these channels are very common, our governing equations for penetration length will have a wide range of applicability. These applications especially include creeping flow in micro fluidic domain for which...

...Denis Lepchev; Daniel Weihs We study the creeping flow of an incompressible fluid in spiral microchannels such as that used in DNA identifying “lab-on-a-chip” installations. The equations of motion for incompressible, time-independent flow are developed in a three-dimensional orthogonal curvilinear...

Application of our method to other related problems in creeping flow and possible further generalizations are also discussed. The general results are then exploited...

A new parameter is introduced to measure the degree of mixing quantitatively. Furthermore, the results obtained by k - ω and RSM turbulence...
