We investigate the effect of thickness of the porous material on the peristaltic pumping when the tube wall is provided with non-erodible porous lining .The motion is caused by the movement of peristaltic waves on the flexible walls of the tube. The effects of yield stress and permeability on the pumping characteristics are studied in detail.
