Abstract
Peristaltic motion is in human body such that, swallowing food through the esophagus, urine transport from kidney to bladder through the ureter, transport of spermatozoa in cervical canal, movement of ovum in the female fallopian tube, transport of blood through small bloodvessels, movement of food through the large intenstine, transport of chime in small intestine, and transport of lymph in lymphatic vessels In addition, peristaltic pumping occurs in many practical applications involving biomechanical systems like the heart-lung machine and other applications like the production of oil from a reservoir. The study of the mechanism of peristaltic transport has been the subject of scientific and engineering research during the past four decades. Several theoretical and experimental studies have been conducted to understand peristaltic action since the first investigation of Latham in 1966.
The essential work of the thesis is to study the effect of porous medium and slip boundary conditions on the peristaltic transport of liquids taken their compressibility into account in channel and circular cylindrical tube.
In Chapter 1, We give some information about the following items:
- Biomechanics and its resources (bioengineering, biomathematics and biophysics).
- Biofluidmechanics and its subarea biofluidynamics.
- Peristaltic motion and historical review on it.
- Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids.
- Perturbation method.
- Flow through porous medium.
