%X Peristaltic transport of a Williamson fluid in an asymmetric channel through porous medium is studied under long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions. The nonlinear governing equations of the peristaltic flow are solved using perturbation method. The solution for the stream function is obtained by neglecting inertia and curvature effects. The velocity distribution, the volume flow rate and the pressure rise are also determined.
