In this article, we have presented a peristaltic flow of third order fluid in a channel with variable viscosity. The governing equations are constructed under long wave length and low Reynolds number approximations. A regular perturbation technique is applied and obtained expressions for the stream function, temperature, and concentration at a small Deborah number. The pertinent features of var...

The Doi kinetic theory for homogeneous flows of rodlike liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs) is extended to inhomogeneous flows through introducing a nonlocal intermolecular potential. An extra term in the form of an elastic body force comes out as a result of this extension. Systematic asympototic analysis in the small Deborah number limit is carried out, and the classical EricksenLeslie equatio...
