Peristaltic Pumping of a Jeffrey Fluid under the Effect of Magnetic Field in an Inclined Channel

The peristaltic pumping of a Jeffrey fluid in an inclined channel is studied under long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions. The magnetic field of uniform strength is applied in the transverse direction to the flow. The flow is investigated in a wave frame of reference moving with the velocity of the wave. The expressions for axial velocity, axial pressure gradient and frictional force have been obtained. The effect of various parameters on the flow characteristics are discussed with the help of graphs.
