Numerical results and discussion

The governing nonlinear Eqs. (22) and (28) subject to the condi-
tions (24)–(27) have been solved for the numerical solutions by
built in function NDSolve of Mathematica. This routine is based
on the standard shooting method with fourth order Runge–Kutta
integration technique.

parameter b. As the Grashof number Gr enlarges, the velocity dis-
tribution increases inside the channel (see Fig. 1). Physically, an
increase in Gr implies larger buoyancy forces which accelerates
the flow in axial direction. Fig. 2 shows that axial velocity uðyÞ is
an increasing function of tension and mass characterizing parame-
ters E1 and E2 whereas velocity decays when damping parameter
E3 is increased. It is understandable since fluid experiences larger
resistance to flow in case of stronger wall damping. Moreover, lar-
ger values of E1 implies a reduction in wall tension due to which
velocity increases. In Fig. 3, the behavior of magnetic field effect
on axial velocity uðyÞ is portrayed. Hartman number H is defined
as the ratio of magnetic force to viscous force. As H enlarges, the
magnetic force normal to the flow direction dominates the viscous
effect. Consequently, velocity in the axial direction decreases upon
increasing the Hartman number H. Fig. 4 shows the influence of

temperature distribution increases. It means that temperature in
Sutterby fluid is larger than that in viscous fluid. In Fig. 8, it is clear
that magnetic force has important role in reducing fluid tempera-
ture within the channel. Fig. 9 preserves the behavior of Brinkman
number Br on temperature. Brinkman number Br represents the
intensity of dissipation effects. Since temperature at the wall is
controlled convectively, therefore heat transfer is only considered

ature decreases when strength of convective heating is enhanced.

Heat transfer coefficient

In Figs. 12–16, we plot heat transfer coefficient ZðxÞ for different


values of embedded parameters. Interestingly, ZðxÞ has oscillatory
profile across channel walls. Fig. 12 indicates that buoyancy forces
reduce the heat transfer rate from the channel walls. The effect of
compliant wall parameters E1 ; E2 and E3 on ZðxÞ appears to be sim-
ilar to that on the temperature profile (see Fig. 13). It can be con-
cluded through Fig. 14 that radiative heat transfer opposes the

Conclusions

In this attempt, we presented numerical solutions for peristalti-


cally driven flow of Sutterby fluid in planar channel. Radiative heat
transfer and wall properties effects are preserved in the mathemat-
ical model. The key observations of this study are listed below:

 Axial velocity is directly proportional to both Sutterby fluid


parameter b and Grashof number Gr.
 Magnetic force acting normal to the flow resists the fluid
motion due to which velocity decreases in the axial direction.
 Magnetic field effect tends to reduce fluid temperature while

is employed.
 Velocity and temperature distributions increase when either
wall tension reduces or wall mass per unit area enlarges.
 The influence of wall damping parameter E3 on the solutions is
qualitatively opposite to that of E1 and E2 .
 Temperature rises and heat flux from the wall diminishes when
convective heating at the walls is intensified.
 Role of radiation parameter Rn is to reduce temperature and
wall heat flux.

Common questions

Temperature is inversely proportional to the radiation parameter Rn. When Rn increases, temperature decreases. Moreover, temperature is found to be maximal at the center of the planar channel .

Tension and mass characterizing parameters E1 and E2 increase both the velocity and temperature distribution. This is because they cause a reduction in wall tension, thereby accelerating flow and increasing temperature inside the channel .

The Sutterby fluid parameter b leads to an increase in flow velocity along the axial direction. Additionally, as the Sutterby fluid parameter increases, the temperature distribution also increases, indicating that the temperature in Sutterby fluid is higher than in a viscous fluid .

The damping parameter E3 decreases the velocity distribution as it increases, providing larger resistance to flow. Conversely, it cools down the fluid inside the channel by reducing temperature distribution .

As the Grashof number Gr increases, the velocity distribution increases inside the channel. Physically, an increase in Gr implies larger buoyancy forces which accelerate the flow in the axial direction .

The Brinkman number Br, which indicates the intensity of dissipation effects, correlates directly with temperature. Higher Br leads to higher temperatures because of enhanced heat dissipation within the fluid due to stronger convective control at the walls .

The Biot number Bi, which affects the strength of convective heating, decreases the temperature when increased and subsequently diminishes the heat flux from the wall. With stronger convection, heat transfer from the channel walls is reduced .

An increase in the Prandtl number Pr results in a proportional increase in temperature, suggesting that Pr plays a direct role in enhancing convective heat transfer properties of the fluid .

Magnetic force tends to decrease the fluid temperature by imposing additional resistance to flow, which in turn leads to a higher heat transfer coefficient when a strong magnetic force is applied. This occurs because the magnetic force influences the distribution of temperature, enhancing heat transfer from the fluid to the surrounding walls .

When the Hartman number H increases, the magnetic force normal to the flow direction dominates the viscous effect, resulting in a decrease of velocity in the axial direction .
