A Numerical Study of Peristaltic Flow Generalized Maxwell Viscoelastic Fluids Through a Porous medium in an Inclined Channel

Abstract

In this paper presents a study on Peristaltic of generalized Maxwell fluid fluids  through a porous medium  in an inclined channel with slip effect. The governing equation are simplified by assuming long wavelength  and low Reynolds number approximations. The numerical and approximate analytical solutions of the problem are obtained by a semi-numerical technique, namely the homotopy  perturbation method. The influence of the dominating physical parameters such as fractional Maxwell parameter, relaxation time, amplitude ratio, permeability parameter , Froude number, Reynolds number and inclination of channel on the flow characteristics are depicted graphically.
