Channel flow of Ellis fluid due to cilia motion

Nonlinear Engineering
In this report, a theoretical study is directed at the cilia motion of the Ellis fluid model due to the propagation of an infinite metachronal wave train traveling along the walls of the channel due to the continuous beating of the cilia.

Non-Newtonian fluid model analysis due to metachronal waves of cilia: A physiological mathematical model

Partial Differential Equations in Applied Mathematics
The Phan–Thien–Tanner non-Newtonian model of fluid flow is considered to mathematically model the cilia governed flow inside human body. The collective action of cilia generates a rhythmic motion in form of metachronal wave travelling along the wall of ...
