The aim of this study is to develop a Darcy–Forchheimer-based MHD pumping model to analyze transient viscous fluid flow through a finite-length microchannel. The methodology involves modelling the upper wall of the channel as undergoing rhythmic, propagative membrane contractions to replicate physiological transport mechanisms and lower wall is stationary. A perturbation technique is employed to derive the analytical series solution, using lubrication theory and assuming a low Reynolds number. The effects of key parameters including the membrane shape parameter, Hartmann number, inverse Darcy number and Forchheimer number are examined on flow and pumping characteristics, shear stress and streamline patterns using MATLAB code. The results highlight that velocity reduces with increasing the Forchheimer number and Hartmann number due to enhanced inertial and Lorentz forces. In the microchannel, the maximum pressure difference is observed at the region where the membrane is located, highlighting the effectiveness of the pumping mechanism. The significance of this study lies in its contribution to the advancement of MHD-based biomedical micropumps, providing valuable insights into controlled fluid transport within microfluidic systems. These findings are especially important for enhancing the controlled and smooth process of biofluid dynamics at microscale without any contamination, and addressing critical challenges in biomedical engineering.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":10340,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Physics","volume":"96 ","pages":"Pages 1435-1452"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144655121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

More specific, L1 scheme is employed for temporal discretization of the Caputo fractional-derivative. Also, the finite difference method is proposed for spacial discretization by applying the technique of ghost points to discretize the Robin–Kirchhoff condition at the intersection point and the boundary conditions. Through this method, the second-order truncation accuracy in space is obtained. Over the entire star graph, a sharp error estimate of this full-discrete scheme at each time level is demonstrated.

This nanostructure comprises a gold (Au) metal layer combined with a chiral quantum dot (CQD) medium. The characteristics of SPP in this hybrid configuration are derived using detailed analytical methods based on Maxwell’s equations, with appropriate boundary conditions applied to ensure accuracy. Additionally, the dynamics of the CQD system are analyzed using the density matrix formalism, which enables a detailed description of the quantum interactions within the medium. Our analysis demonstrates that the birefringent SPP modes, discernible in both absorption and dispersion spectra, can be effectively controlled by manipulating key parameters such as inter-dot tunneling strength and spontaneous emission rates. This tunability also extends to the propagation length and phase shift of the birefringent SPP beams, which can be modulated under the same set of conditions. The ability to control these birefringent SPP modes offers significant potential for the development of advanced imaging systems and the design of compact, efficient nanophotonic devices. By utilizing the interaction between the CQD and the metallic interface, our study not only enhances the understanding of SPP behavior in hybrid nanostructures but also opens up new possibilities for the application of photonic technologies at the nanoscale.
