Behavior of progressive fluid motion under various physical circumstances and geometries must be predicted and understood to improve industrial thermal management systems. Furthermore, peristaltic motion of hybrid nanofluids is essential for temperature control, chemical manufacturing, environmental engineering and biological applications. The present research investigates peristaltic transport of hybrid nanoliquid within a nonlinear porous medium. Darcy–Forchheimer law is implemented to describe the nonlinear porous medium properties and convection. Dissipation and heat source/sink have been considered in energy expression. The copper (Cu) and silver (Ag) nanoparticles are taken. Maxwell thermal conductivity relation is used to explore the thermal features of hybrid nanomaterial. Brinkman viscosity model describes the viscous characteristics of mono and hybrid nanomaterials. Convective boundary constraints are imposed. Dimensionless systems for larger wavelength are chosen. System of equations and boundary conditions are numerically solved. Graphs and bar charts are drawn to study the velocity, pressure gradient, temperature and transfer rate.
