MHD peristaltic motion of a maxwell fluid in axisymmetric tube

Peristaltic motion of a Maxwell fluid in an axisymmetric tube with a sinusoidal wave train traveling along the wall is studied under the long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximation. This analysis can model the transport of blood in small vessels by using the viscoelastic Maxwell model. The...
