| Abstract: | This paper is an analysis of the peristaltic flow of an Oldroyd‐B fluid in a channel with compliant walls. The flow is induced by the sinusoidal waves on the channel walls. A series solution of the resulting boundary value problem is derived under small amplitude assumption. Emphasis is placed on determining the effects of various interesting flow parameters.
