A theoretical study of an unsteady two-layered blood flow through a stenosed artery is presented in this article. The geometry of a rigid stenosed artery is assumed to be$w$-shaped. The flow regime is assumed to be laminar, unsteady and uni-directional. The characteristics of blood are modelled by the generalized Oldroyd-B non-Newtonian fluid model in the core region and a Newtonian fluid model in the periphery region. The governing partial differential equations are derived for each region by using mass and momentum conservation equations. In order to facilitate numerical solutions, the derived differential equations are nondimensionalized. A well-tested explicit finite-difference method (FDM) which is forward in time and central in space is employed for the solution of a nonlinear initial boundary value problem corresponding to each region. Validation of the FDM computations is achieved with a variational finite element method algorithm. The influences of the emerging geometric and rheological parameters on axial velocity, resistance impedance and wall shear stress are displayed graphically. The instantaneous patterns of streamlines are also presented to illustrate the global behaviour of the blood flow. The simulations are relevant to haemodynamics of small blood vessels and capillary transport, wherein rheological effects are dominant.

Abstract A mathematical model for MHD blood flow through a stenosed artery with Soret and Dufour effects in the presence of thermal radiation has been studied. A uniform magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the porous surface. The governing non-linear partial differential equations have been transformed into linear partial differential equations, which are solved numerically by applying the explicit finite difference method. The numerical results are presented graphically in the form of velocity, temperature and concentration profiles. The effects of various parameters such as the Reynolds number, Hartmann number, radiation parameter, Schmidt number and Prandtl number, Soret and Dufour parameter on the velocity, temperature and concentration have been examined with the help of graphs. The present results have an important bearing on the therapeutic procedure of hyperthermia, particularly in understanding/regulating blood flow and heat transfer in capillaries.

The present investigation concerns the fluid mechanical study on the effects of the permeability of the wall through an axisymmetric stenosis in an artery assuming that the flowing blood is represented by a two-fluid model. The expressions for the blood flow characteristics, the impedance, the wall shear stress distribution in the stenotic region and the shearing stress at the stenosis throat have been derived. Results for the effects of permeability as well as of the peripheral layer on these blood flow characteristics are quantified through numerical computations and presented graphically and discussed comparatively to validate the applicability of the present model.

In this article, we have studied a non-Newtonian fluid model for blood flow through a tapered artery with a stenosis by assuming blood as Jeffrey fluid. The main purpose of our study was to follow the idea of Mekheimer and El Kot (2008), for Jeffrey fluid model, mean to study Jeffrey fluid model for blood flow through a tapered artery with a stenosis, Jeffrey fluid model is a non-Newtonian fluid model in which we consider convective derivative instead of time derivative. It is capable of describing the phenomena of relaxation and retardation time. The Jeffrey fluid has two parameters, the relaxation time λ1 and retardation time [Formula: see text]. Perturbation method is used to solve the resulting equations. The effects of non-Newtonian nature of blood on velocity profile, wall shear stress, shearing stress at the stenosis throat, and impedance of the artery are discussed. The results for Newtonian fluid are obtained as special case from this model.

A non-Newtonian mathematical model of blood described as a Hershel-Bulkley fluid model flowing in a stenosed artery with the effect of a chemical reaction is mathematically studied. The expressions of the shear stress, mean velocity and absolute velocity in the plug and non-plug flow field are evaluated analytically. The convective-diffusion equation is solved using the Taylor-Aris technique subject to the relevant boundary constraint in determining the concentration, relative and effective axial diffusivity. The efficiency of the dispersion process is affected by the presence of chemical reaction and stenosis in blood flow. The normalized velocity decreases as stenosis height and stenosis length increase. The relative axial diffusivity is significantly lower while the effective axial diffusivity decreases considerably as the chemical reaction rate, the height of the stenosis and the length of the stenosis increase. Besides, it is observed that as the solute disperses in the presence of stenosis, the flow quantities are lesser than in the absence of stenosis. Further, this study helps in understanding many physiological processes for instance dispersion of drugs or nutrients in the circulatory system. Also, to enhance the dispersion of a solute in blood flow through narrow arteries in the presence of chemical reaction and stenosis.
