Influence of Lateral Walls on Peristaltic Flow in a Rectangular Duct

The flow of a viscous fluid due to symmetric peristaltic waves propagating on the horizontal sidewalls of a rectangular duct is studied under the assumptions of long wavelength and low Reynolds number. The effect of aspect ratio β, ratio of height to width, on the pumping characteristics is discusse...

Zusammenfassung:	The flow of a viscous fluid due to symmetric peristaltic waves propagating on the horizontal sidewalls of a rectangular duct is studied under the assumptions of long wavelength and low Reynolds number. The effect of aspect ratio β, ratio of height to width, on the pumping characteristics is discussed in detail. The results are compared to with those corresponding to Poiseuille flow.
