Abstract

A study is presented on oscillatory flow and solute transport in a non-Newtonian solvent through a tube. The finite element technique is used to analyse the model and calculated the local concentration and mean concentration. The combined effects of oscillatory flow and non-Newtonian characteristics on the local and mean concentrations are discussed. The results obtained in this investigation are found to agree well with previous works available in the literature. This study has significant applications in drug delivery in physiological systems, environmental transport of pollutants and cardiovascular flow phenomena.
