Summary:This present article deals with the interaction of both rotation and inclined magnetic field on peristaltic flow of a micropolar fluid in an inclined symmetric channel with sinusoidal waves roving down its walls. The highly nonlinear equations are simplified by adopting low Reynolds number and long wavelength approach. The analytical and numerical solutions for axial velocity, spin velocity, volume flow rate, pressure gradient, pressure rise per wavelength, and stream function have been computed and analyzed. The quantitative effects of various embedded physical parameters are inspected and displayed graphically with fussy prominence. Pressure rise, frictional forces, and pumping phenomenon are portrayed and characterized graphically.
