The viscous flow in a curved tube with partial slip on the boundary occurs in many practical situations. The problem is formulated in curved tube coordinates and solved by perturbation for small curvature. The mutual interaction of slip, curvature, and inertia causes changes in the axial flow, surface shear, and secondary flow. It is found that the net flow increases with increased slip and decreased Reynolds numbers.
