The present article deals with the effects of nanoparticles and magnetic field on the peristaltic flow of a couple stress fluid in an asymmetric channel with different wave forms. Mathematical modelling for 2-D and two directional flows of a couple stress fluid along with nanofluid are first given and then simplified under the assumptions of long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximation. After invoking these approximations we get coupled non-linear differential equations. The exact solutions of temperature distribution, the nanoparticle concentration, velocity, stream function and pressure gradient are calculated. Finally graphical results of various physical parameters of interest are discussed to examine the behavior of flow quantities.

Effect of Hall current on peristaltic transport of couple stress fluid in an inclined asymmetric channel is investigated. An incompressible fluid is conducting in the presence of inclined magnetic field. Problem formulation is developed through heat and mass transfer aspects. Soret and Dufour effects are present. Long wavelength and low Reynolds number approaches are adopted. Closed form expression for longitudinal velocity, pressure gradient, temperature and concentration are presented. Important results reflecting the influence of embedded parameters in the problems have been pointed out. Pumping and trapping phenomena are especially focused.
