Abstract

The purpose of this study is to discuss the influence of induced magnetic field on the peristaltic flow of an incompressible third-grade fluid in a curved channel. The problem formulation is presented in a wave frame of reference. The continuity, linear momentum, and induction equations lead to the mathematical development. The relations of stream function, pressure gradient, magnetic force function, induced magnetic field, and current density are developed. The effects of embedded parameters are explained by plots.
