The problem of peristaltic motion in a tube through a porous medium has been investigated. The mathematical model considers a Jeffrey incompressible fluid. The wavelength of the traveling wave is assumed to be large. Analytical expressions for the stream function, axial velocity, and pressure gradient have been obtained. Numerical computations are performed for pressure drop and frictional force per wavelength. The effect of various parameters on the flow is discussed with the help of graphs.
