Abstract
In recent work, the Jeffrey liquid with uniform dust particles in a symmetric channel is studied. Moving sinusoidal wave is executed on the walls of the channel, which generates peristaltic transport in the fluid. The governing equations for fluid and dust particles have been formulated using stream function. Perturbation method is used to get analytical solution of the problem by using small wave number. Graphical analysis has been carried out for stream function and velocity of fluid and dust particles. Effects of different parameters such as curvature k, relaxation time [Formula: see text], wave number [Formula: see text] and retardation time [Formula: see text] are debated through graphs for both dust particles and fluid. The noteworthy outcomes are fluid velocity, pressure gradient in the region [Formula: see text] and bolus size increases by increasing [Formula: see text]
