Peristaltic flow of a fluid in a porous channel: A study having relevance to flow of bile within ducts in a pathological state [PDF]
International Journal of Engineering Science (IJES), Volume: 49,
Issue: 9(2011) pp. 950-966, 2011 The paper deals with a theoretical study of the transport of a fluid in a channel, which takes place by the phenomenon of peristalsis. A mathematical analysis of the said problem has been presented. The analysis involves the application of a suitable perturbation technique. The velocity profile and the critical pressure for the occurrence of reflux are
