    The authors show that the mean streamwise distribution (averaged over time) due to the peristaltic motion in the case of free pumping is dominated by \(R_0\) (or \(K_n\)), which allow to determine the boundary value \(D_y\) of the \(y\)-gradient of the first-order streamwise velocity distribution.
