In this research, we investigated the effect of tumor growth on blood flow through a micro channel by formulated the governing model with the assumption that blood is an incompressible, eclectrially conducting fluid which flow is caused by the pumping action of the heart and suction. The governing model was scaled using some dimensionless variables and the region of the tumor was obtained from Dominguez [1] which was incorporated in our model. The model is further reduced to an ordinary differential equation using a perturbation condition. However, the ordinary differential equation was solved using method of undermined coefficients, and the constants coefficients obtained via matrix method. Furthermore, the simulation to study the effect of the pertinent parameters was done suing computation software called Mathematica. It is seen in our investigation that the entering parameters such as magnetic field parameter, the Reynolds number, womersley number, oscillatory frequency parameter, and permeability parameter affect the blood velocity profile in decreasing and increasing fashion.

A mathematical model for blood flow through an elastic artery with overlapping stenosis under the effect of induced magnetic field is presented. The present theoretical model may be considered as a mathematical representation to the movement of conductive physiological fluid through coaxial tubes such that the inner tube is uniform and rigid, representing a catheter tube, while the outer tube is an anisotropically tapered elastic cylindrical tube filled with a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid, representing blood. The analysis is carried out for an artery with mild local narrowing in its lumen, forming a stenosis. Analytical expressions for the stream function, the magnetic force function, the axial velocity, the axial induced magnetic field, and the distribution of the current density are obtained. The results for the resistance impedance, the wall shear stress distribution, the axial velocity, the axial induced magnetic field, and distribution of the current density have been computed numerically, and the results were studied for various values of the physical parameters, such as the the Hartmann number Ha, the magnetic Reynolds number Rm, the taper angle ϕ, the maximum height of stenosis δ, the degree of anisotropy of the vessel wall n, and the contributions of the elastic constraints to the total tethering K.

In this paper, a mathematical model has been developed for studying blood flow through a porous vessel with a pair of stenoses under the action of an externally applied magnetic field. Blood flowing through the artery is considered to be Newtonian. This model is consistent with the principles of ferro-hydrodynamics and magnetohydrodynamics. Expressions for the velocity profile, volumetric flow rate, wall shear stress and pressure gradient have been derived analytically under the purview of the model. The above said quantities are computed for a specific set of values of the different parameters involved in the model analysis. This serves as an illustration of the validity of the mathematical model developed here. The results estimated on the basis of the computation are presented graphically. The obtained results for different values of the parameters involved in the problem under consideration, show that the flow is appreciably influenced by the presence of magnetic field and the rise in the hematocrit level.
