Study of Inertia & Streamline Curvature Effects on Peristaltic Flows

The book "Study of Inertia & Streamline Curvature Effects on Peristaltic Flows" offers a comprehensive investigation into the mathematical modeling and simulation of peristaltic flows, taking into account inertia effects in the underlying transport equations. Unlike conventional approaches that often use the long-wave approximation to simplify the mathematical equations, this work presents the complete solution of the governing equations without such simplifications. The authors employ a numerical method based on the finite element method to compute results for both small and large Reynolds numbers. This represents a significant advancement in research, as the long-wave approximation is not applicable for large Reynolds numbers. The book is divided into nine chapters, with the first chapter providing an introduction and fundamental knowledge on the topic. The subsequent chapters explore various physical assumptions, including MHD, mixed convection, porous media, and axisymmetric flow regions for Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids.
