Effect of Lateral Walls on Peristaltic Flow through an Asymmetric Rectangular Duct

Peristaltic transport of an incompressible viscous fluid due to an asymmetric waves propagating on the horizontal sidewalls of a rectangular duct is studied under long-wavelength and low-Reynolds number assumptions. The peristaltic wave train on the walls have different amplitudes and phase. The flo...
