Abstract
The computational analytical solution of a time periodic velocity for an electroosmotic flow in an oscillatory micro-channel is assessed by solving analytically, the set of governing equations that obeys couple stress fluid model. Blood is considered as a couple stress fluid. It is observed that with the increase in Reynolds Number the velocity increases and the effect of couple stress parameter is immaterial near the vicinity of the walls due to the formation of stern and diffuse layer at solid liquid interface
