Abstract
Abstract In this paper, a mathematical model for the steady laminar, incompressible and Newtonian fluid flow in a proximal renal tubule is presented. In this, the tubule is considered as a tapered tube with double constriction and permeable boundary. The impact of the fluid reabsorption across the tubule wall is assumed as the occurrence of exponentially decreasing flow at each cross-section. The present model is formulated through the Navier–Stokes equations, under the appropriate boundary conditions. A regular perturbation technique is used to obtain the approximate solutions. This study brings out the significant impacts of reabsorption coefficient (α) and tapered angle (ϕ) on the flow variables such as velocities, the drop in pressure, and wall shear stress are discussed through graphs. The streamlines are also plotted to understand the influence of the reabsorption and tapering phenomena on the flow.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
