Throughout this paper we investigate the effect of a vertical alternative current AC and heat transfer on the peristaltic flow of a couple stress dielectric fluid (blood flow model) in a symmetric flexible sinusoidal wavy channel. In order to solve the system of coupled non-linear partial differential equations, a program designed by Mathematica software “parametric NDSolve package” is used, which pertains to describe the momentum, the energy, and the electric potential that is obtained from using a regular perturbation method with small amplitude ratio. The numerical formulas of the mean velocity, the mean temperature, and the mean electric field are computed and the phenomenon of reflux (the mean flow reversal) is discussed. Moreover, the physical parameters effects of the problem on these formulas are described and illustrated graphically. The results reveal that the mean time averaged velocity is accelerated in the presence of AC electric field and decelerated for the couple stress fluid model (a special case of non-Newtonian fluid). The mean time averaged temperature is high in the presence of an alternative current AC electric field. This results model imply that the physiological role of AC electric field enhances blood circulation and this might help to eliminate the metabolic waste products and endogenous pains producing. |
