EFFECT of HEAT TRANSFER on PERISTALTIC FLOW in PRESENCE of HEAT GENERATION against HIGHER VALUE of REYNOLDS NUMBER USING FEM

In the present investigation, heat transfer analysis of peristaltic flow in the presence of heat generation against high values of the Reynolds number using a numerical technique is pre-sented. The Finite Element Method with the assistance of Galerkin's variational method has been used on the governing Navier-Stokes equation in the stream-vorticity form. The graphs of computed longitudinal velocity, temperature distribution and pressure rise per wavelength are plotted against different values of an emerging parameter using a stream function and vorticity. The presented results are valid beyond the restrictions of long wavelength and low Reynolds number limits. Moreover, large values of the Reynolds number increases pressure rise per wavelength. © 2021 Polish Society of Theoretical and Allied Mechanics. All rights reserved.
