Rao, Adabala Ramachandra; Usha, Srinivasan Peristaltic transport of two immiscible viscous fluids in a circular tube. (English) Zbl 0848.76100 J. Fluid Mech. 298, 271-285 (1995). Peristaltic motion of two immiscible viscous incompressible fluids in a circular tube is studied in pumping and copumping ranges under long-wavelength and low-Reynolds-number assumptions. The effect of the peripheral-layer viscosity on the time-averaged flux and the mechanical efficiency is studied. The formation and growth of the trapping zone in the core and the peripheral layer are also explained.
