Using the perturbation method, the axial laminar flow of Non-Newtonian fluid through an eccentric annulus is studied in the present paper. The relative eccentricity ε is taken as a perturbation parameter, and the first order perturbation solutions of the problem, such as velocity field, limit velocity and pressure gradient, are all obtained.
