Abstract

In this investigation, the peristaltic flow of a third order fluid in an asymmetric channel is considered in the presence of a slip condition. The series solution of the stream function and longitudinal pressure gradient is given under long wave length and low Reynolds number approximations. Pressure rise and frictional forces per wave length are analyzed through numerical integration. Pumping and trapping phenomena are examined and the obtained results are compared with those of no-slip condition. Comparison is made with the results of no-slip and viscous fluid cases.
