Slip Effects on Peristaltic Transport of a Particle-Fluid Suspension in a Planar Channel by Mohammed H. Kamel, Islam M. Eldesoky, Bilal M. Maher, Ramzy M. Abumandour

“…A motivation of the present analysis has been the hope that such theory of two-phase flow process under slip condition is very useful in understanding the role of peristaltic muscular contraction in transporting biofluid behaving like a particle-fluid mixture. Also the theory is important to the engineering applications of pumping solid-fluid mixture by peristalsis.…”
