An analytical and numerical study of peristaltic transport of a Johnson—Segalman fluid in an endoscope

Abstract

In the present study, we discuss the peristaltic flow of a Johnson—Segalman fluid in an endoscope. Perturbation, homotopy, and numerical solutions are found for the non-linear differential equation. The comparative study is also made to check the validity of the solutions. The expressions for pressure rise frictional forces, pressure gradient, and stream lines are presented to interpret the behavior of various physical quantities of the Johnson—Segalman fluid.
