Significance of thermal transport analysis through an artificial intelligence stochastic approach for MHD peristaltic propulsion of Reiner–Philippoff fluid
摘要
The rising interest in artificial neural networks (ANNs) stems from their exceptional ability to handle complex, highly nonlinear problems in fields like fluid dynamics and biotechnology. This study explores the peristaltic flow of a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Reiner–Philippoff fluid through a curved channel using an artificial intelligence (AI) approach, specifically the Levenberg–Marquardt method within a backpropagation neural network (LMM-BNN). The model incorporates the effects of Ohmic heating, a radial magnetic field, and viscous dissipation. The governing equations, simplified under long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximations, are solved numerically to generate a reference dataset. This dataset is then used to train, test, and validate the LMM-BNN model to predict the results of velocity profile, temperature distribution, skin friction, and heat transfer rate. The analysis is conducted for eight distinct scenarios involving variations in the Bingham number, Hartmann number, curvature parameter, Reiner–Philippoff fluid parameter, and Brinkman number. The LMM-BNN model demonstrates excellent predictive accuracy, with mean square error (MSE) values as low as
