Abstract

In this paper, we studied the effect of slip on peristaltic flow of a Jeffrey fluid through a porous medium in an asymmetric channel under the assumptions of long wavelength and low Reynolds number. The expressions for the velocity field and pressure gradient are obtained analytically. The effects of various emerging parameters on the pressure gradient and pumping characteristics are discussed through graphs in detail.

Keywords
