Analysis of a channel and tube flow induced by cilia
Applied Mathematics and Computation, 2017 Power law metachronal wave motion, responsible for the cilia transport is investigated in this paper using numerical tools. The dynamical analysis is made in channel and in tube to demonstrate the quantitative effect of the geometry. Similarity transformations are employed to convert the governing partial differential equations into a set of coupled ...

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part E: Journal of Process Mechanical Engineering, 2023 The current study deals with the flow of seminal fluid through the ductus efferentes owing to electro-osmotic force and motion of cilia. The constitutive equation of semen liquid has been assumed to be described as a K-L (Kuang and Luo) fluid model. The main equations of the ciliary flow of K-L model are solved by considering the supremacy of viscous ...

Inducing 3D vortical flow patterns with 2D asymmetric actuation of artificial cilia for high-performance active micromixing [PDF]
Experiments in Fluids, 2014 Driven by the advancement of the “lab-chip” concept, a new beating behavior of artificial cilia was identified to meet the demands on rapid and complete fluid mixing in miniaturized devices. This beating behavior is characterized by an in-plane asymmetric motion along a modified figure-of-eight trajectory.

Experimental investigation of the flow induced by artificial cilia
Lab on a Chip, 2011 The fluid transport produced by rectangular shaped, magnetically actuated artificial cilia of 70 μm length and 20 μm width was determined by means of phase-locked Micro Particle Image Velocimetry (μPIV) measurements in a closed microfluidic chamber. The phase-averaged flow produced by the artificial cilia reached up to 130 μm s(-1) with an actuation ...

Mathematical Biosciences, 2018 The present prospective theoretical analysis concerns with the peristalsis-cilia induced transport of a developing embryo from ampulla to intramural, in the human fallopian tube. A model of peristalsis-cilia induced flow of the Johnson-Segalman fluid within fallopian tubal fluid in a finite two dimensional narrow tube is developed. We solved highly non-

Pumping Induced By Bio-Mimetic Magnetic Micro-Cilia in Creeping Flows
ECS Meeting Abstracts, 2016 The inertial effects in creeping flow regimes are negligible. Most motile micro-organisms manipulate fluid by oscillatory Cilia or Flagella. The pumping action by a cilium is attributed to the asymmetry in the power and recovery strokes. Further, the ratio of viscous forces to Elastic forces (given by sperm-number) on a cilium determines the efficiency

Entropy analysis of SWCNT & MWCNT flow induced by collecting beating of cilia with porous medium
Journal of Central South University, 2019 In this article, we considers the thermodynamics analysis of creeping viscous nanofluid flow in a horizontal ciliated tube under the effects of a uniform magnetic field and porous medium. Moreover, energy analysis is performed in the presence of an internal heat source and thermal radiation phenomena.

Flow induced by beating artificial cilia: an experimental and numerical study
, 2011 Artificial cilia-driven fluid transport in microfluidic devices is a newly emerging research topic that came into focus during the last five years. Artificial cilia can be described as wall-attached elongated structures that perform an externally actuated periodic beat cycle to manipulate fluids on sub-millimeter scale. The periodic motion of the cilia
