• PERISTALTIC FLOW OF A PRANDTL FLUID THROUGH A POROUS MEDIUM IN A CHANNEL
Abstract
In this paper, the peristaltic flow of a Prandtl fluid through a porous medium in a uniform channel under the assumptions of long wavelength and low Reynolds number is investigated. Series solutions of axial velocity and pressure gradient are obtained by using regular perturbation technique when Prandtl number is small. The effects of various pertinent parameters on the pressure gradient and pumping characteristics are discussed in detail through graphs.
