Özet:

 

The effect of slip velocity on peristaltic flow of a couple  stress fluid in uniform and nonuniform symmetric channels is studied.  This problem has numerous applications.  It serves as a model for the  blood flow in living creatures.  Using long wavelength approximation  and neglecting inertial forces, a closed form solution for the axial  velocity and the pressure gradient was obtained.  Numerical  computations were carried out to investigate the effect of couple  stress parameter a and Knudsen number Kn on pressure rise,  maximum pressure rise, and friction force for uniform and nonuniform  channels.  It is noted that the pressure rise decreases with  increasing a and increasing Kn.  The friction force has an  opposite behavior compared with pressure rise.
