Abstract

A numerical study has been investigated for magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) pumping of viscoelastic nanofluid by means of heat transfer in a complex ciliated channel. The Jeffrey model is followed as a non-Newtonian fluid (blood) in current investigations because of its dual characteristics: one is viscosity effects and the second is elastic in nature. The fluid motion is parallel to the direction of metachronal waves. The metachronal waves are mobilized by the cilia transport. The magnetic force reflection with horizontal angle in inclined direction is implemented. The system identifying via distinct equations is expressed in wave frame which is further normalized the flow system by using scaling quantities. In the next step, the normalized form of rheological equations will be reduced by using lubrication approximations. The ND computational tool is implemented for simulation process. The fluid transportation is controlled by wave number, eccentric parameter of cilia, ciliated length, inclined magnetic force and non-Newtonian parameter.
