Peristaltic transport of a two-layered fluid in a catheterized tube

The flow of a two-layered Newtonian fluid induced by peristaltic waves in a catheterized tube has been investigated. The expressions for the flow characteristics- the flow rate, the pressure drop and the friction forces at the tube and catheter wall are derived. It is found that the pressure drop...
