A closure for the compressible portion of the pressure-strain covariance is developed. It is shown that, within the context of a pressure-strain closure assumption linear in the Reynolds stresses, an expression for the pressure-dilatation can be used to construct a representation for the pressure-strain. Additional closures for the unclosed terms in the Favré-Reynolds stress equations involving...

Peristaltic transport of an incompressible electrically conducting viscous fluid in an inclined planar asymmetric channel is studied. The asymmetry is produced by choosing the peristaltic wave train on the walls to have different amplitude and phase. The closed form solutions of momentum and energy equation in presence of viscous dissipation term are obtained for long wave length and low Reynol...
