Abstract
This investigation deals with the peristaltic motion of a Carreau fluid in a planar channel by employing
long wavelength approximation. Five wave forms are chosen. Explicit solutions of longitudinal velocity and
pressure gradient are derived. The pumping and trapping phenomena are properly examined. Comparison
is made for the flow characteristics of the various selected wave forms. © 2009Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer
