A two-dimensional (2D) nonlinear mathematical model to study the response of the pulsatile flow of blood through a couple of irregular stenoses influenced by externally imposed periodic body acceleration is developed. The model is 2D and axisymmetric with an outline of the stenosis obtained from the three-dimensional (3D) casting of a mildly stenosed artery. The combined influence of an asymmetric shape and surface irregularities of the constrictions is explored in a computational study of blood flow through arterial stenoses with 48% areal occlusion. The arterial wall is treated as an elastic (moving wall) cylindrical tube having a couple of stenoses in its lumen, while the streaming blood is considered to be Newtonian. Solutions of the time-dependent nonlinear Navier–Stokes equations in the cylindrical coordinate system are obtained using a finite difference method based on the nonuniform and nonstaggered grids. The finite difference approximation helps to estimate the effects of body acceleration on the doubly constricted flow phenomena through several graphical representations quantitatively in order to validate the applicability of the present, improved mathematical model.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to solve convective diffusion equation analytically by considering appropriate boundary conditions and using the Taylor-Aris method to determine the solute concentration, the effective and relative axial diffusivities. Design/methodology/approach >An analysis has been conducted on how body acceleration affects the dispersion of a solute in blood flow, which is known as a Bingham fluid, within an artery. To solve the system of differential equations analytically while validating the target boundary conditions, the blood velocity is obtained. Findings The blood velocity is impacted by the presence of body acceleration, as well as the yield stress associated with Casson fluid and as such, the process of dispersing the solute is distracted. It graphically illustrates how the blood velocity and the process of solute dispersion are affected by various factors, including the amplitude and lead angle of body acceleration, the yield stress, the gradient of pressure and the Peclet number. Originality/value It is witnessed that the blood velocity, the solute concentration and also the effective and relative axial diffusivities experience a drop when either of the amplitude, lead angle or the yield stress rises.

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.

A mathematical model of flimsy blood move through parallel plate channel under the action of a connected steady transverse attractive field is proposed. The model is subjected to warm source. Expository articulations are gotten by picking the hub speed; temperature dispersion and the typical speed of the blood rely upon y and t just to change over the arrangement of fractional differential conditions into an arrangement of normal differential conditions under the conditions characterized in our model. The model has been breaking down to discover the impacts of different parameters, for example, Hart-mann number, warm source parameter and Prandtl number on the hub speed, temperature circulation, and the ordinary speed. The numerical arrangements of pivotal speed, temperature conveyances, and typical speed are demonstrated graphically for better comprehension of the issue. Subsequently, the present numerical model gives a straightforward type of pivotal speed, temperature circulation and typical speed of the bloodstream so it will help not just individuals working in the field of Physiological liquid elements yet in addition to the restorative professionals.

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.
