The present study investigates the effects Joule heating and MHD peristaltic transport of nanofluid in a channel with complaint walls. The transport equations involve the combined effects of Brownian motion and thermophoretic diffusion of nanoparticles. The mathematical modeling is carried out by utilizing long wavelength and low Reynolds number assumptions. The closed form solution for stream function is computed and resulting coupled nonlinear equations are solved numerically by using shooting technique through computational software Mathematica. Numerical results are graphically discussed for various values of sundry parameters on the flow. Also, the trapping phenomenon is examined with respect to emerging parameters of interest.
