Abstract :

This paper deals with the peristaltic pumping of a Jeffrey fluid in an asymmetric channel with permeable walls under long wave length and low Reynolds number assumptions. The channel asymmetry is produced by choosing the peristaltic wave trains with phase difference on the walls of the channel. The flow is investigated in a wave frame of reference with the velocity of the wave. The effect of various parameters on the flow characteristics are discussed through graphs.
