Abstract

This article addresses peristaltic flow of third order fluid in an asymmetric channel. Channel walls are subjected to the convective boundary conditions. The channel asymmetry is produced by choosing the peristaltic wave train on the walls to have different amplitudes and phase. Long wavelength approximation and perturbation method give the series solutions for the stream function, temperature and longitudinal pressure gradient. Analysis has been further carried out for pressure rise per wavelength through numerical integration. Several graphs of physical interest are displayed and discussed.
