The present paper is concerned with the study of a mathematical model for the flow of blood through a multi-stenosed artery. Blood is considered here to consist of a peripheral plasma layer which is free from red cells, and a core region which is represented by a Casson fluid. A suitable generalized geometry of multiple stenoses existing in the arterial segment under consideration is taken for the study. A thorough quantitative analysis has been made through numerical computations of the variables involved in the analysis that are of special interest in the study. The computational results are presented graphically.

A mathematical model is developed here with an aim to study the pulsatile flow of blood through an arterial segment having a time‐dependent stenosis. Blood is considered to consist of a core layer where erythrocytes are concentrated and a peripheral plasma layer that is free from erythrocytes. The plasma layer is taken to behave as a Newtonian fluid, while the core layer is represented by as a Casson fluid (non‐Newtonian) model. The pulsatile flow is analyzed by considering a periodic pressure gradient, which is a function of time. A perturbation analysis is employed to solve the governing differential equations by taking the Womersley frequency parameter to be small (α < 1). This is a realistic assumption for physiological fluid flows, particularly for flow of blood in small vessels. Using appropriate boundary conditions, analytical expressions for the velocity profile, the volumetric flow rate, the wall shear stress and the flow resistance have been derived. These expressions are computed numerically and the computational results are presented graphically, in order to illustrate the variation of different quantities that are of particular interest in the study.

When blood flow through artery, the two-phase nature of blood as a suspension becomes  important as the diameter of the red blood cell (RBC) becomes comparable to the tube diameter. The aim of the present study  is to analyzed the effect of magnetic field on the plug flow region, shear stress in the core and plasma layer in two-fluid flow of blood through stenosed artery. Besides magnetic field, the effect of Womersley parameter, thickness of stenosis and width of plasma layer are also discussed. Generated data are analyzed and discussed through graphs.

Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effects of unsteady blood flow on Casson fluid through an artery with overlapping stenosis were investigated. The nonlinear governing equations accompanied by the appropriate boundary conditions were discretized and solved based on a finite difference technique, using the pressure correction method with MAC algorithm. Moreover, blood flow characteristics, such as the velocity profile, pressure drop, wall shear stress, and patterns of streamlines, are presented graphically and inspected thoroughly for understanding the blood flow phenomena in the stenosed artery.

An appropriate nonlinear blood flow model under the influence of periodic body acceleration through a multiple stenosed artery is investigated with the help of finite difference method. The arterial segment is simulated by a cylindrical tube filled with a viscous incompressible Newtonian fluid described by the Navier-Stokes equation. The nonlinear equation is solved numerically with the proper boundary conditions and pressure gradient that arise from the normal functioning of the heart. Results are discussed in comparison with the existing models.
