Shear-thinning is an important rheological property of many biological fluids, such as mucus,
whereby the apparent viscosity of the fluid decreases with shear. Certain microscopic …

Fluid interactions are ubiquitous in the natural world; all organisms must find strategies to
generate, utilise or resist flow in order to be successful. A process fundamental to all life on …

The present thesis deals with a mathematical study of ciliary induced flows of various non-
Newtonian fluids through a planar channel and in an axially symmetric tube. The main …
