MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF BLOOD FLOW THROUGH STENOSED TUBE

In the present study, blood flow in a stenosed tube is modeled. Blood is assumed to be represented by couple stress fluid. The growth projects into the lumen of the artery and blood flow is disturbed; thus, a potential coupling develops between the growth and the blood flow through the artery. An an...

Summary:In the present study, blood flow in a stenosed tube is modeled. Blood is assumed to be represented by couple stress fluid. The growth projects into the lumen of the artery and blood flow is disturbed; thus, a potential coupling develops between the growth and the blood flow through the artery. An analysis of the effect of an axially symmetric growth into the lumen of a tube of constant cross-section through which a Newtonian fluid is steadily flowing is presented. The importance of the effect of slip velocity in stenosed tube is highlighted.
