Abstract

This study concentrates on the heat transfer characteristics and endoscope effects for peristaltic flow of a third order fluid. Two models of variable viscosity are chosen. Both perturbation and numerical solutions are obtained in each case. A comparative study is also made between the two solutions. The importance of pertinent flow parameters entering into the flow modeling is discussed.
