Peristaltic phenomenon is widely used for biologically tissues such as the digestive and excretion of urine systems. Fingered and roller pumps, hoses and internal pumps, pumps for waste management in the nuclear industry are also working on the wavy walls rules. Hence, in this paper, the magnetic hydrodynamic flow of nanofluids inside a curved porous channel, with peristaltic walls and within the internal heat source has been studied. In the present study, the flow is incompressible and the governing equations, including flow, heat and mass transfer are obtained by using an assumption of long wavelength. For solving the equations, the central finite difference approximation algorithm and Keller-box method are utilized. Heat transfer is reduced due to the presence of a magnetic field. Also, increasing the power of the heat source and the Darcy number reduces the heat transfer. Increasing porosity in the environment increases the heat transfer. Increasing the power of the heat source is accompanied by a reduction in velocity in the central line of the channel in the corrugated mode.
In this paper, by using the numerical solution results, the effect of various parameters such as source term, Darcy number and porosity on the velocity, distribution of temperature, the function of the magnetic force, increase the pressure on the wavelength, Nusselt number and also the flow trapping phenomenon has been studied.
