Mathematical modelling of two-fluid electro-osmotic peristaltic pumping of an Ellis fluid in an axisymmetric tube (2019)
Journal Article
Ali, N., Hussain, S., Ullah, K., & Beg, O. (2019). Mathematical modelling of two-fluid electro-osmotic peristaltic pumping of an Ellis fluid in an axisymmetric tube. European Physical Journal Plus, 134(Apr 19), 141. https://doi.org/10.1140/epjp/i2019-12488-2

This article explores analytically the dynamics of two-fluid electro-osmotic peristaltic flow through a cylindrical tube. The rheology of the fluid in the central core (inner region or core region) is captured through the Ellis equation. The region a...
