dc.description.abstract	Peristaltic flow is produced by successive waves of contraction in elastic, tubular structures which push their fluid or fluid-like contents forward. In this dissertation the Mathematical analysis of peristaltic flow in a channel is presented. Abstract In the Mathematical analysis of two-dimensional peristaltic fluid flow, the fluid is assumed to be incompressible and Newtonian. The wave number is assumed to be small, and a regular perturbation method is used to solve the governing equations and a simplified stream junction solution is obtained for long-wavelength and low Reynolds number. Finally the axial and transverse velocity components and pressure gradient of the fluid at desired points in the channel are obtained.	en_US
