TLDR
The effect of a magnetic field on peristaltic transport of blood in a non-uniform two-dimensional channels has been investigated under zero Reynolds number with long wavelength approximation and it is found that the pressure rise decreases as the couple-stress fluid parameter @c increases and increases as the Hartmann number M increases.

Peristaltic transport of blood: Casson model--II.

TL;DR: The problem of peristaltic transport of blood in a uniform and non-uniform tube has been investigated, under zero Reynolds number and long wavelength approximation and it is found that, for a given flow rate, the pressure rise decreases as the viscosity of the peripheral layer decreases.
