Özet
Peristaltic flow through an elliptic channel has vital significance in different scientific and engineering applications. The peristaltic flow of Carreau fluid through a duct with an elliptical cross-section is investigated in this work . The proposed problem is defined mathematically in Cartesian coordinates by incorporating no-slip boundary conditions. The mathematical equations are solved in their dimensionless form under the approximation of long wavelength. The solution of the momentum equation is obtained by applying perturbation technique (We2\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$W_e<^>2$$\end{document} as perturbation parameter) along with a polynomial solution. We introduce a new polynomial of twenty degrees to solve the energy equation. The solutions of mathematical equations are investigated deeply through graphical analysis. It is noted that non-Newtonian effects are dominant along the minor axis. It is found that flow velocity is higher in the channels having a high elliptical cross-section. It is observed from the streamlines that the flow is smooth in the mid-region, but they transform into contours towards the peristaltic moving wall of the elliptic duct.
