The spread of numerous deadly diseases such as Thrombosis, Diabetes, Atherosclerosis and other cardiac diseases, carry on to be major root of demise and growing public curiosity about the prevention and treatment of such fatal disorders. Body acceleration has very important role on the flow through stenosed artery. In this research work a problem for irregular development in the inner wall of the artery is known atherosclerosis that settled as a result of buildup due to cholesterol on the arterial wall has been discussed. In this work the effects of body acceleration, slip velocity in presence of catheter on the wall shear, velocity profile and flow rate reveal the graphical finding for pulsatile blood flow in narrow blood vessels. Here it is shown that flow rate, velocity and shear stress escalate as body acceleration increases.

Abstract In this analysis, we present a theoretical study to examine the combined effect of both slip velocity and periodic body acceleration on an unsteady generalized non-Newtonian blood flow through a stenosed artery with permeable wall. A constant transverse magnetic field is applied on the peristaltic flow of blood, treating it as an elastico-viscous, electrically conducting and incompressible fluid. Appropriate transformation methods are adopted to solve the unsteady non-Newtonian axially symmetric momentum equation in the cylindrical polar coordinate system with suitably prescribed conditions. To validate the applicability of the proposed analysis, analytical expressions for the axial velocity, fluid acceleration, wall shear stress and volumetric flow rate are computed and for having an adequate insight to blood flow behavior through a stenosed artery, graphs have been plotted with varying values of flow variables, to analyse the influence of the axial velocity, wall shear stress and volumetric flow rate of streaming blood.

AbstractThe present communication presents a theoretical study of blood flow through a stenotic artery with a porous wall comprising Brinkman and Darcy layers. The governing equations describing the flow subjected to the boundary conditions have been solved analytically under the low Reynolds number and mild stenosis assumptions. Some special cases of the problem are also presented mathematically. The significant effects of the rheology of blood and porous wall of the artery on physiological flow quantities have been investigated. The results reveal that the wall shear stress at the stenotic throat increases dramatically for the thinner porous wall (i.e. smaller values of the Brinkman and Darcy regions) and the rate of increase is found to be 18.46% while it decreases for the thicker porous wall (i.e. higher values of the Brinkman and Darcy regions) and the rate of decrease is found to be 10.21%. Further, the streamline pattern in the stenotic region has been plotted and discussed.
