  • Abstract
    The interaction between peristaltic transport of a dusty fluid (Saffman’s model) in a 2-dimensional  uniform channel and the elasticity of the channel’s flexible walls was studied under long wavelength approx- imation. Perturbation solutions were obtained for the stream functions of both the fluid particles and solid  particles, in terms of the wall slope parameter. The expressions for average velocity of the fluid particles  and solid particles, and average fluid flow rate were derived. The effects of various elastic parameters and  mass concentration of dust particles on the streamline pattern and average flow rate were studied. The  phenomenon of trapping was observed and the area of the trapped bolus increased along with the tension  parameter, but decreased with damping and mass concentration of dust particles.
