Blood-viscosity reducing drugs like “Pentoxifylline” improve blood flow by making the blood less viscous. The resistance to flow of blood in diabetic patients is higher than in non-diabetic patients. Thus diabetic patients with higher resistance to flow are more prone to high blood pressure. Therefore the resistance to blood flow in case of diabetic patients may be reduced by reducing viscosity of the plasma. Viscosity of plasma can be reducing by giving Pentoxifylline. In this paper an attempt has been made to investigate the blood flow behaviour and significance of non-Newtonian viscosity through a stenosed artery using Bingham Plastic fluid model. Numerical illustrations presented at the end of the paper provide the results for the resistance to flow, apparent viscosity and the wall shear stress through their graphical representations. It has been shown that the resistance to flow, apparent viscosity and wall shear stress increases with the size of the stenosis but these increases are comparatively small due to non-Newtonian behaviour of the blood indicating the usefulness of its rheological character in the functioning of the diseased arterial circulation.

Shear Thinning Fluid

This paper aims to investigate the blood flow in a bell-shaped constricted rigid tube, modeled as stenosed artery. The flow is assumed to be axi-symmetric, laminar and of oscillatory type. A mathematical model of shear-thinning fluid corresponding to the shear-dependent blood viscosity (mainly due to the behavior of the red blood cells in suspension of the flowing blood) is considered. The governing equations of motion are presented with the help of stream function-vorticity and are solved numerically by finite-difference technique. The shear-thinning fluid model for the flowing blood has significant contribution in the dynamics of oscillatory blood flow. The results reveal that the arterial wall shear stress reduced significantly and the peak value of the wall shear stress at the maximum area reduction is comparatively low for Newtonian fluid viscosity. The lengths of recirculating regions formed after the constriction are reduced for the shear-thinning blood viscosity model and also for its different material parameters.

Analytical Expressions

This paper presents a theoretical study of blood flow through a tapered and overlapping stenosed artery under the action of an externally applied magnetic field. The fluid (blood) medium is assumed to be porous in nature. The variable viscosity of blood depending on hematocrit (percentage volume of erythrocytes) is taken into account in order to improve resemblance to the real situation. The governing equation for laminar, incompressible and Newtonian fluid subject to the boundary conditions is solved by using a well known Frobenius method. The analytical expressions for velocity component, volumetric flow rate, wall shear stress and pressure gradient are obtained. The numerical values are extracted from these analytical expressions and are presented graphically. It is observed that the influence of hematocrit, magnetic field and the shape of artery have important impact on the velocity profile, pressure gradient and wall shear stress. Moreover, the effect of primary stenosis on the secondary one has been significantly observed.

Volume Method

The problems of non-Newtonian blood flow through a stenosed artery are solved numerically using Finite Volume Method where the non-Newtonian rheology of the flowing blood is characterised by the Generalised Power-law, Carreau-Yasuda and Cross models. In view of the haemodynamical mechanisms related to atherosclerosis formation and the role of the wall shear stress in initiating and further developing of the disease, the investigation is focused on the two-dimensional flow field and in particular on the distribution of the wall shear stress in the vicinity of the stenosis. A comparison is made between the effects of each rheological model on the aforementioned parameters for different Re number.

Steady flow simulations of blood flow in an axisymmetric stenosed artery, subjected to a static magnetic field, are performed to investigate the influence of artery size, magnetic field strength, and non-Newtonian behavior on artery wall shear stress and pressure drop in the stenosed section. It is found that wall shear stress and pressure drop increase by decreasing artery size, assuming non-Newtonian fluid, and increasing magnetic field strength. In the computations, the shear thinning behavior of blood is accounted for by the Carreau–Yasuda model. Computational results are compared and found to be inline with available experimental data.

The flow of blood mixed with copper nanoparticles in an overlapping stenosed artery is reported in the presence of a magnetic field. The presence of stenosis is known to impede blood flow and to be the cause of different cardiac diseases. The governing nonlinear equations are rendered dimensionless and attempted under the conditions of mild stenosis. The analytical solutions for velocity, resistance to the flow, wall shear stress, temperature, and streamlines are obtained and analyzed through graphs. The obtained outcomes show that the temperature variation in copper nanoparticles concentrated blood is more and flow resistance is less when compared to pure blood. The investigations reveal that copper nanoparticles are effective to reduce the hemodynamics of stenosis and could be helpful in biomedical applications.

Abstract A two-phase blood flow model is considered to analyze the fluid flow and heat transfer in a curved tube with time-variant stenosis. In both core and plasma regions, the variable viscosity model ( Hematocrit and non linear temperature-dependent, respectively) is considered. A toroidal coordinate system is considered to describe the governing equations. The perturbation technique in terms of perturbation parameter ε is used to obtain the temperature profile of blood flow. In order to find the velocity, wall shear stress and impedance profiles, a second-order finite difference method is employed with the accuracy of 10−6 in the each iteration. Under the conditions of fully-developed flow and mild stenosis, the significance of various physical parameters on the blood velocity, temperature, wall shear stress (WSS) and impedance are investigated with the help of graphs. A validation of our results has been presented and comparison has been made with the previously published work and present study, and it revels the good agreement with published work. The present mathematical study suggested that arterial curvature increase the fear of deposition of plaque (atherosclerosis), while, the use of thermal radiation in heat therapies lowers this risk. The positive add in the value of λ1 causes to increase in plasma viscosity; as a result, blood flow velocity in the stenosed artery decreases due to the assumption of temperature-dependent viscosity of the plasma region. Clinical researchers and biologists can adopt the present mathematical study to lower the risk of lipid deposition, predict cardiovascular disease risk and current state of disease by understanding the symptomatic spectrum, and then diagnose patients based on the risk.

A mathematical model of dispersed bioparticle-blood flow through the stenosed coronary artery under the pulsatile boundary conditions is proposed. Blood is assumed to be an incompressible non-Newtonian fluid and its flow is considered as turbulence described by the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. Bioparticles are assumed to be spherical shape with the same density as blood, and their translation and rotational motions are governed by Newtonian equations. Impact of particle movement on the blood velocity, the pressure distribution, and the wall shear stress distribution in three different severity degrees of stenosis including 25%, 50%, and 75% are investigated through the numerical simulation using ANSYS 18.2. Increasing degree of stenosis severity results in higher values of the pressure drop and wall shear stresses. The higher level of bioparticle motion directly varies with the pressure drop and wall shear stress. The area of coronary artery with higher density of bioparticles also presents the higher wall shear stress.
