Abstract

This paper reports numerical study for peristalsis of Carreau–Yasuda nanofluid in a symmetric channel. Constant magnetic field is applied. Modified Darcy’s law and nonlinear thermal radiation effects are considered. Viscous dissipation and Ohmic heating effects are also present. Long wavelength and small Reynolds number are considered. Resulting nonlinear problems are solved numerically. Graphical illustrations depict that temperature increases for larger Hartmann number and it decays for thermophoresis parameter.
