The flow of blood through a narrow artery with bell-shaped stenosis is investigated, treating blood as Casson fluid. Present results are compared with the results of the Herschel-Bulkley fluid model obtained by Misra and Shit (2006) for the same geometry. Resistance to flow and skin friction are normalized in two different ways such as (i) with respect to the same non-Newtonian fluid in a normal artery which gives the effect of a stenosis and (ii) with respect to the Newtonian fluid in the stenosed artery which spells out the non-Newtonian effects of the fluid. It is found that the resistance to flow and skin friction increase with the increase of maximum depth of the stenosis, but these flow quantities (when normalized with non-Newtonian fluid in normal artery) decrease with the increase of the yield stress, as obtained by Misra and Shit (2006). It is also noticed that the resistance to flow and skin friction increase (when normalized with Newtonian fluid in stenosed artery) with the increase of the yield stress.

The flow of blood in narrow arteries with bell-shaped mild stenosis is investigated that treats blood as non-Newtonian fluid by using the K-L model. When skin friction and resistance of blood flow are normalized with respect to non-Newtonian blood in normal artery, the results present the effect of stenosis length. When skin friction and resistance of blood flow are normalized with respect to Newtonian blood in stenosis artery, the results present the effect of non-Newtonian blood. The effect of stenosis length and effect of non-Newtonian fluid on skin friction are consistent with the Casson model in which the skin friction increases with the increase of ither stenosis length or the yield stress but the skin friction decreases with the increase of plasma viscosity coefficient. The effect of stenosis length and effect of non-Newtonian fluid on resistance of blood flow are contradictory. The resistance of blood flow (when normalized by non-Newtonian blood in normal artery) increases when either the plasma viscosity coefficient or the yield stress increases, but it decreases with the increase of stenosis length. The resistance of blood flow (when normalized by Newtonian blood in stenosis artery) decreases when either the plasma viscosity coefficient or the yield stress increases, but it decreases with the increase of stenosis length.

This paper investigates the magnetic blood flow in an inclined multi-stenosed artery under the influence of a uniformly distributed magnetic field and an oscillating pressure gradient. The blood is modelled using the non-Newtonian Casson fluid model. The governing fractional differential equations are expressed by using the fractional Caputo-Fabrizio derivative without singular kernel. Exact analytical solutions are obtained by using the Laplace and finite Hankel transforms for both velocities. The velocities of blood flow and magnetic particles are graphically presented. It shows that the velocity increases with respect to the Reynolds number and the Casson parameter. Meanwhile, the velocity decreases as the Hartmann number increases. These results are useful for the diagnosis and treatment of certain medical problems.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of injection and suction on velocity profile, skin friction and pressure distribution of a Casson fluid flow between two parallel infinite rectangular plates approaching or receding from each other with suction or injection at the porous plates. Design/methodology/approach The governing Navier–Stokes equations are reduced to the fourth-order non-linear ordinary differential equation through the similarity transformations. The approximated analytic solution based on the Homotopy perturbation method is given and also compared with the classical finite difference method. Findings From this study, the authors observed that the skin friction is less in non-Newtonian fluids compared to Newtonian fluids. The use of non-Newtonian fluids reduces the pressure in all the cases compared to Newtonian and hence load-carrying capacity will be more. As γ value increases velocity, skin friction and pressure decreases. When γ is fixed, it is observed that skin friction and pressure is minimum for A=0.5 and maximum when A=−0.5. The result of this study also shows that the effect of suction on the velocity profiles, pressure and skin friction is opposite to the effect of injection. Originality/value The present work analyzes the characteristic of non-Newtonian fluid having practical and industrial applications.

Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) boundary layer slip Casson fluid flow over a dissipated moving cylinder is explored. Casson fluid model is employed as a non-Newtonian material that demonstrates the phenomenon of yield stress. Blood material is considered to be an example of Casson liquid. The non-linear partial differential quantities are transformed into expressions of ordinary derivatives through transformation of similarity variables. These equations are computed for numeric solutions by using Runge-Kutta method along with shooting scheme. The impact of pertinent constraints on the fluid velocity and temperature are examined through graphs. The coefficient of the skin friction and the rate of heat transfer are found numerically. Comparing of the present study with the earlier results is also presented. We observed that the coefficient of skin friction increases for higher values of Hartmann number.

The electro-osmotically modulated hemodynamic across an artery with multiple stenosis is mathematically evaluated. The non-Newtonian behaviour of blood flow is tackled by utilizing Casson fluid model for this flow problem. The blood flow is confined in such arteries due to the presence of stenosis and this theoretical analysis provides the electro-osmotic effects for blood flow through such arteries. The mathematical equations that govern this flow problem are converted into their dimensionless form by using appropriate transformations and then exact mathematical computations are performed by utilizing Mathematica software. The range of the considered parameters is given as [Formula: see text]. The graphical results involve combine study of symmetric and non-symmetric structure for multiple stenosis. Joule heating effects are also incorporated in energy equation together with viscous effects. Streamlines are plotted for electro-kinetic parameter [Formula: see text] and flow rate [Formula: see text]. The trapping declines in size with incrementing [Formula: see text], for symmetric shape of stenosis. But the size of trapping increases for the non-symmetric case.

The unsteady free flow of a Casson fluid past an oscillating vertical plate with constant wall temperature has been studied. The Casson fluid model is used to distinguish the non-Newtonian fluid behaviour. The governing partial differential equations corresponding to the momentum and energy equations are transformed into linear ordinary differential equations by using nondimensional variables. Laplace transform method is used to find the exact solutions of these equations. Expressions for shear stress in terms of skin friction and the rate of heat transfer in terms of Nusselt number are also obtained. Numerical results of velocity and temperature profiles with various values of embedded flow parameters are shown graphically and their effects are discussed in detail.

In this article, the non-Newtonian fluid model named Casson fluid is considered. The semi-infinite domain of disk is fitted out with magnetized Casson liquid. The role of both thermophoresis and Brownian motion is inspected by considering nanosized particles in a Casson liquid spaced above the rotating disk. The magnetized flow field is framed with Navier’s slip assumption. The Von Karman scheme is adopted to transform flow narrating equations in terms of reduced system. For better depiction a self-coded computational algorithm is executed rather than to move-on with build-in array. Numerical observations via magnetic, Lewis numbers, Casson, slip, Brownian motion, and thermophoresis parameters subject to radial, tangential velocities, temperature, and nanoparticles concentration are reported. The validation of numerical method being used is given through comparison with existing work. Comparative values of local Nusselt number and local Sherwood number are provided for involved flow controlling parameters.
