Electroosmosis Augmented MHD Third-Grade Fluid with Slip and Variable Properties: An Application for Blood Flow in Arteries

The electroosmotic force effect on the peristaltic motion of the third-grade fluid is considered in a uniform channel. The governing equations that supplement the flow are designed for long wavelengths and low Reynolds numbers. Solutions are obtained for velocity, temperature, concentration, and trapping by considering the variable liquid properties for analyzing the various parameter effects. These effects are depicted through graphs and the relevance is discussed. The variable fluid properties have a declining impact on the velocity and temperature fields. Increasing the Helmholtz-Smoluchowski velocity values decreases the velocity field. Temperature decreases as the Deborah number increases. The velocity slip characteristics rise, and the trapping bolus's size shrinks. The results of this paper may be beneficial in understanding the control of microvascular transport in the time of fractionation of blood into plasma and erythrocytes.
