Cilia-assisted hydromagnetic pumping of biorheological couple stress fluids

A theoretical study is conducted for magnetohydrodynamic pumping of electro-conductive couple stress physiological liquids (e.g. blood) through a two-dimensional ciliated channel. A geometric model is employed for the cilia which are distributed at equal intervals and produce a whip-like motion unde...
