AB  - The objective of this work is to investigate the dynamics of a self-propelled undulating sheet in a non-Newtonian electrolyte solution inside a wavy channel under the electroosmotic effect. The electrolyte solution, which is non-Newtonian, is modeled as a Carreau-Yasuda fluid. The flow generated by a combination of an undulating sheet and electroosmotic effect is obtained by solving the continuity and momentum equations. The electroosmotic body force term is derived using the Poisson-Boltzmann equation for the electric potential. A fourth-order ordinary differential equation for the stream function is solved under the Stokes flow regime. The dynamics of the undulating sheet’s speed and the energy dissipation it, are investigated. The combined effects of electroosmosis and the viscoelastic properties of the ambient fluid on the undulating sheet are discussed.
