Motion of a Self-Propelling Micro-Organism in a Channel Under Peristalsis: Effects of Viscosity Variation

The motion of a self propelling micro-organism symmetrically located in a rectangular channel containing viscous fluid has been studied by considering the peristaltic and longitudinal waves travelling along the walls of the channel. Theexpressions for the velocity of the micro-organism and time aver...
