Abstract

Peristaltic flow of third-grade fluid in a tapered asymmetric channel is discussed. The whole system is considered in a rotating frame. Unlike the traditional situation, the nonlinear version of thermal radiation is invoked. The resulting problems are solved numerically. Comparative study between rotating and inertial frames is presented. The results of velocity, temperature, and heat transfer rate are analyzed for different parameters of interest.
