Abstract

Influence of Hall current on the peristaltic transport of an incompressible Carreau fluid in a channel is explored. The mathematical analysis is performed in the presence of convective conditions. A stream function formulation is adopted in the mathematical modelling. Long-wavelength and low-Reynolds-number approximations are utilized. The analysis for stream function, temperature, pressure gradient and pressure rise is performed for small Weissenberg number. Detailed analysis via plots is performed for various emerging parameters.
