description	Peristalsis is a natural mechanism responsible for the propulsion and the segmentation of biofluids in living structures, and this mechanism is important due to its efficient pumping characteristics. An essential feature of peristalsis is dissipation, thus dissipative heat transfer must be considered in the propulsion of biofluids.
