In the present article, we have studied the Rabinowitsch fluid model for the peristaltic flow. The non-Newtonian nature of the fluid is analyzed mathematically by considering the Rabinowitsch fluid. The Rabinowitsch fluid model for the peristaltic flow is not discussed so far. This is the first article describing the features of Rabinowitsch fluid in peristaltic literature. The fluid is flowing in a uniform tube with the wave motion. Exact solutions have been calculated for velocity and pressure gradient. The physical behavior of different parameters for velocity, pressure rise, streamlines, and pressure gradient have been examined graphically. It is observed that when Weissenberg number is large then the relaxation time of the fluid is greater than a specific process time in which the pressure rise increases rapidly in the peristaltic pumping regions. Trapping phenomena have been discussed at the end of the article

The study of peristaltic flow of a Carreau fluid in a non-uniform tube under the consideration of long wavelength is presented. The flow is investigated in a wave frame of reference moving with velocity of the wave c. Numerical integration has been used to obtain the graphical results for pressure rise and frictional forces. The effects of various emerging parameters are investigated through graphs.

The present article addresses the peristaltic flow of a Jeffery fluid over an inclined axisymmetric porous tube with varying viscosity and thermal conductivity. Velocity slip and convective boundary conditions are considered. Resulting governing equations are solved using long wavelength and small Reynolds number approximations. The closed-form solutions are obtained for velocity, streamline, pressure gradient, temperature, pressure rise, and frictional force. The MATLAB numerical simulations are utilized to compute pressure rise and frictional force. The impacts of various physical parameters in the interims for time-averaged flow rate with pressure rise and is examined. The consequences of sinusoidal, multi-sinusoidal, triangular, trapezoidal, and square waveforms on physiological parameters are analyzed and discussed through graphs. The analysis reveals that the presence of variable viscosity helps in controlling the pumping performance of the fluid.
