Effects of Electroosmosis on the Peristaltic Transport of Sisko Fluid with Convective Boundary Conditions

The current model investigates the effects of applying electric field on the peristaltic transport of non-Newtonian Sisko fluid through a uniform channel under the influence of variable liquid properties. The non-Newtonian Sisko fluid model is considered highly suitable for representing blood composition and can be applied to complex blood flow problems. Basic transport equations are used for modeling, under the assumptions of a long wavelength and low Reynolds number. The regular perturbation method is employed to solve the nonlinear governing equations. The effects of different parameters are illustrated by graphing the velocity, temperature, concentration and streamline profiles. The results show that the Sisko fluid parameter and electroosmotic parameters have more significant impacts on the velocity and temperature profiles. These findings can be applied to the regulation of blood pumps and related biomedical devices.
