CFD SOLUTIONS BASED ON MESHLESS FINITE ELEMENTS FOR TWO-DIMENSIONAL NON-NEWTONIAN PERISTALTIC FLOWS

2017-10 - 2020-10

Associated With: HEC

Show project

This project focuses on the development of advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques based on meshless finite element methods for analyzing two-dimensional non-Newtonian peristaltic flows. Peristaltic transport is widely observed in biomedical and industrial applications such as blood circulation, drug delivery, and fluid transport in flexible channels. Due to the nonlinear behavior of non-Newtonian fluids and moving boundary effects, traditional mesh-based numerical methods often face computational challenges.The proposed study aims to formulate mathematical models for incompressible non-Newtonian fluids under peristaltic motion and solve the governing equations using meshless finite element approaches such as Element-Free Galerkin (EFG) and Meshless Local Petrov–Galerkin (MLPG) methods. The effects of important physical parameters including magnetic field, heat transfer, viscous dissipation, and slip conditions will also be investigated.The project will analyze velocity, pressure distribution, trapping phenomena, temperature, and wall shear stress characteristics. The developed computational framework is expected to provide accurate, stable, and efficient numerical solutions for complex peristaltic transport problems. The outcomes of this research may contribute to biomedical engineering, physiological fluid dynamics, and advanced industrial fluid transport systems involving non-Newtonian fluids.
