Separated Flow Through a Gap Between Two Coaxial Peristaltic Tubes
IEEE Access, 2022 A peristaltic endoscope is a device that could locomote through curving and tortuous spaces where it has many real-life applications in different disciplines e.g., in the field of medicine, it helps in the process of catheterization in curved tubes which

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2005 Molecules that emulate in part the remarkable capabilities of protein motors were recently chemically synthesized. A promising approach is based on physically interlocked macromolecular complexes such as rotaxanes and catenanes. Using the latter, Leigh et al . [Leigh, D. A., Wong, J. K. Y., Dehez, F. & Zerbetto,

Geometric Mixing, Peristalsis, and the Geometric Phase of the Stomach [PDF]
, 2015 Mixing fluid in a container at low Reynolds number - in an inertialess environment - is not a trivial task. Reciprocating motions merely lead to cycles of mixing and unmixing, so continuous rotation, as used in many technological applications, would ...

Entropy Generation via Ohmic Heating and Hall Current in Peristaltically-Flowing Carreau Fluid
Entropy, 2019 The core objective of the present study is to examine entropy generation minimization via Hall current and Ohmic heating. Carreau fluid considerations interpret the unavailability of systems’ thermal energy (for mechanical work).
