Abstract
We investigate the peristaltic motion of a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) generalized second‐order fluid in an asymmetric channel. The governing equations are first modeled and then numerically solved under the long wavelength approximation. Attention has been focused to analyze the shear‐thinning and shear‐thickening effects of the investigated non‐Newtonian fluid, the influence of the magnetic force on the flow, especially the trapping, pumping characteristics caused by the peristalsis of the walls. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
