In this article, the influence of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) on cilia motion of particle–fluid suspension through a porous planar channel has been investigated. The governing equations of Casson fluid model for fluid phase and particulate phase are solved by taking the assumption of long wavelength and neglecting the inertial forces due to laminar flow. The solutions for the resulting differential equations have been obtained analytically and a close form of solutions is presented. The expression for pressure rise along the whole length of the channel is evaluated numerically. The influences of all the physical parameters are demonstrated graphically. Trapping mechanism has also been discussed with the help of streamlines. It is observed that due to the influence of magnetohydrodynamics and particle volume fraction, velocity of the fluid decreases. It is also found that pressure rise shows similar behaviour for particle volume fraction and Casson fluid parameter. Copyright © 2016, The Authors.

1. Introduction The term cilia is often used for “eukaryotic cells,” and it is derived from the word “eyelashes,” The term cilia is used when different types of cilia elements are appendages on a single cell. The inner layer of these cells is described by a cylindrical core which is known as axoneme. The axoneme contains cylindrical arrangements of molecular motors/dynein and elastic elements (known as microtubules). All the cilia elements on the surface of microorganism describe the same beating pattern. The length range of each cilium element is about 2 μm to mm and its diameter is about 0.2 μm. The shape of the cilia elements is very much similar to hair like motile appendages which can be observed in the nervous system, digestive system, male and female reproductive system. Cilia motion plays a vital role in various physiological processes such as reproduction, alimentation, locomotion and respiration. Metachronal wave that is generated due to the waves of ciliary elements propagates along out of phase direction in a distensible tube/channel. The main benefit of metachronal wave is to control the continuity of the flow and also to help us increase the amount of fluid propelled. Ciliary moments are found in different shapes depending on the ciliary system, such as oscillatory, excitable, helical, beating and planar. When the * Corresponding author. Tel.: +8613162146836.

metachronal wave propagates along the same path as the effective stroke, then this phenomenon is known as symplectic metachronism, whereas when they propagate along the opposite direction, then this phenomenon is known as antiplectic. Several authors investigated analytically and numerically the motion of cilia in different situations with various biological fluids [1–5]. On the other hand, magnetohydrodynamics is very helpful to control the flow of fluid. Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) deals with the study of electrically conducting fluids such as salt water or electrolytes, plasmas and liquid metals. The application of magnetic field can be found in various engineering process and geophysical studies. Magnetohydrodynamics is also applicable in magnetic drug targeting for different types of cancer diseases. Magnetohydrodynamics is useful and applicable in various microchannel design for creating continues and non-pulsating flow. In biomedical engineering, magnetohydrodynamics helps in the regulation of hyperthermia, MRI and magneto-fluid rotary blood pumps, etc. Magnetohydrodynamics oscillation and waves are very famous tools for astrophysical plasmas and remote diagnostic. Magnetohydrodynamics sensors are often used to measure the angular velocity. Akbar and Khan [6–8] analysed the effects of magnetohydrodynamics on metachronal beating of cilia for Casson fluid model. Ellahi et al. [9] studied the effects of magnetohydrodynamics on peristaltic flow of Jeffery fluid in a rectangular duct through a porous medium. Mekheimer et al. [10] examined the particle fluid suspension of peristaltic flow in a non-uniform annulus. Akbar and Butt [11] analysed

the effects of heat transfer on metachronal of wave cilia for Rabinowitsch fluid model. Later, Akbar and Khan [6–8] characterize the effects of heat transfer for bi-viscous ciliary motion fluid. Some relevant studies on the present analysis can be found from the list of references [6–8,12–29]. With the above analysis in mind, the purpose of this present investigation is to analyse the effects of magnetohydrodynamics on metachronal wave of particle–fluid suspension due to cilia motion in the uniform porous planar channel. The governing equations of particle–fluid suspension have been solved for Casson fluid model under the assumption of long wavelength and creeping flow regime. The solution for the resulting equation has been obtained analytically and a closed-form solution is presented for fluid phase and particulate phase. The impact of all the physical parameters is discussed and plotted. This paper is summarized as follows; Sec. (2) describes the mathematical formulation of the problem, Sec. (3) is devoted to methodology and solution of the problem and finally, Sec. (4) characterizes the numerical results and discussion.

2. Mathematical formulation Let us consider the unsteady irrotational, hydromagnetic particle– fluid suspension model, which is incompressible, and electrically conducting by an external magnetic field is applied through a twodimensional porous planar channel. A metachronal wave is travelling with a constant velocity c that is generated due to collective beating of cilia along the walls of the channel whose inner surfaces are ciliated. We have selected a Cartesian coordinate system for the channel in such a way that is X − axis taken along the axial direction and Y − axis is taken along the transverse direction (See Fig. 1). The envelop for cilia tips is assumed to be written as [6–8]

In this section, the graphical results of different pertinent parameters are sketched for velocity profile, pressure rise and stream lines. For this purpose, Figs. 2 to 12 have been plotted against a , b , C , k , M and z . It is depicted from Fig. 2 that when the parameters a and b increase, the velocity of fluid shows the opposite behaviour near the walls. It can be noticed from Fig. 3a that when the particle volume fraction (C ) increases, the magnitude of the velocity decreases. It can be observed from Fig. 3b that when the porosity parameter (k ) increases, velocity of the fluid increases. From

Fig. 4a, we can observe that Hartmann number ( M ) is very helpful to control the flow because when the Hartmann number increases, the velocity of the fluid decreases, whereas the opposite behaviour has been observed for Casson fluid parameter (z ) as shown in Fig. 4b. Figs. 5 and 6 are sketched for pressure rise versus average volume flow rate (Q ) It can be noticed from Fig. 5a that when the particle volume fraction increases, the pressure rise decreases in retrograde pumping region ( ΔP > 0, Q < 0) , but its attitude is opposite in co-pumping region ( ΔP < 0, Q > 0) . It can be scrutinized from Fig. 5b that the pressure rise is decreasing in retrograde pumping region and its behaviour seems opposite in free pumping (ΔP < 0, Q < 0) region and co-pumping region. It can be observed

from Fig. 6a that when the Hartmann number ( M ) increases, the pressure rise decreases in co-pumping and free pumping regions while it increases in retrograde pumping region. It can be seen from Fig. 6b that due to Casson fluid parameter, pressure rise decreases in retrograde pumping region but its behaviour starts changing in the same region and become opposite in free pumping and copumping regions. Another most interesting part of this section is trapping, which is taken into account by drawing stream against all the physical parameters. Generally, it is the formulation of internally circulating bolus that is enclosed by various streamlines. From Fig. 7, we can observe that when the parameter a increases, the size of trapped

Conclusion In this article, the influence of magnetohydrodynamics on cilia motion of particle–fluid suspension through a porous planar channel has been investigated. The governing equation of motion and continuity for fluid phase and particulate phase has been obtained by neglecting the inertial forces and taking the long wavelength assumption. The solution for the resulting differential equation has been obtained analytically and the closed-form solution is

presented. The major outcomes for the flow problem are: Velocity of the fluid decreases due to the magnetic field while its behaviour is opposite for porosity parameter. Velocity of the fluid behaves as decreasing function due to particle volume fraction.

The behaviour of pressure rise is same for Casson fluid parameter and particle volume fraction. The present analysis can also be reduced to Newtonian fluid by taking z → ∞ as a special case of our study. The present investigation depicts various interesting behaviour that warrants further study on cilia motion with particle volume fraction for various biological fluids.
