Peristaltic Flow of a Nanofluid under the Effect of Hall Current and Porous Medium

Abstract EN

The problem of peristaltic flow of an incompressible viscous electrically conducting nanofluid in a vertical asymmetric channel through a porous medium is investigated by taking the Hall effects into account.

The governing equations are formulated and simplified under the assumptions of long wavelength and low Reynolds number.

The solutions for temperature and nanoparticle profiles are obtained by using the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) and closed form solutions for stream function and pressure gradient are developed.

Finally, the effects of various emerging parameters on the physical quantities of interest are plotted and discussed.
