| Summary: | In this article, the theoretical and mathematical study of peristaltic transport of a Jeffrey fluid in a rectangular duct with compliant walls is discussed. The constitutive equations are simplified under the implementation of low Reynolds number and long wavelength approximations. The analytical solution of the resulting equations is evaluated by Eigen function expansion method. The graphical aspects of all the parameters of interest are also analyzed. The graphs of velocity for two and three dimensional flow are plotted. The trapping bolus phenomenon is also discussed though streamlines. |
