Effect of Wall Properties on the Peristaltic Flow of a Non-Newtonian Fluid

[摘要] The effect of wall properties is analyzed on the peristaltic motion of a Burgers’ fluid. Sinusoidal waves are considered on the channel walls. Small amplitude assumption is taken into account to solve the required boundary value problem. Various flow parameters of interest are sketched and discussed through graphs. Comparative study of the mean velocity for different fluid models is presented the mean velocity is found maximum in viscous fluid when compared with the Maxwell, Oldroyd-B and Burgers’ fluids.
