Abstract

The present study deals with Peristaltic transport of biofluid to compare the variations of velocity profiles using Casson fluid. The mathematical model is proposed to analyze the function of flux transported in the presence of yield stress. The axisymmetric flow is considered for contraction and expansion of peristaltic wave. The pressure rise and the velocity change are with a reference to rise in the shear when the fluid is subjected for peristaltic wave formations in the gastrointestinal tract.
