摘要
In this paper, we have investigated the peristaltic flow of Williamson fluid in a curved channel. The governing equations of Williamson fluid model for curved channel are derived including the effects of curvature. The highly nonlinear partial differential equations are simplified by using the wave frame transformation, long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions. The reduced nonlinear partial differential equation is solved analytically with the help of homotopy perturbation method. The physical features of pertinent parameters have been discussed by plotting the graphs of pressure rise, velocity profile and stream functions.
