In this paper, we study some characteristics of the peristaltic motion of an incompressible micropolar fluid through a circular cylindrical tube. Many authors have investigated the peristaltic motion of non-Newtonian or viscoelastic fluid through a channel or tube due to the relevance of peristaltic action in both mechanical and physiological situations. For example, peristaltic mechanism may be involved in vasomotion of small blood vessels. Here the microstructural effects on the pressure rise, average flow and friction force are investigated.

In the present paper, a two layered blood flow model through a cylindrical tube of a Bingham type non-Newtonian fluid is considered. The relative coefficients of viscosity for peripheral and core layer are determined and their nature is shown graphically for different values of the maximum hematocrit, shape parameter, etc.
