Abstract EN
Jeffrey fluid flow in the presence of magnetic field through porous medium in tubes of small diameters is studied.
It is assumed that the core region consists of a Jeffrey fluid and the peripheral region of a Newtonian fluid.
Making the assumptions as in the work of Chaturani and Upadhya, the linearised equations of motion have been solved and analytical solution has been obtained.
The influence of various pertinent parameters on the flow characteristics such as effective viscosity, core hematocrit, and mean hematocrit has been studied and discussed through graphs.
It is found that the effective viscosity and mean hematocrit decrease with Jeffrey parameter and Darcy number but increase with tube hematocrit and tube radius.
Also, the core hematocrit decreases with Jeffrey parameter, Darcy number, tube hematocrit, and tube radius.
Further, it is noticed that the flow exhibits the anomalous Fahraeus-Lindquist effect.
