Abstract. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow of blood has been studied under the influence of body acceleration. With the help of Laplace and finite Hankel transforms, an exact solution is obtained for the unsteady flow of blood as an electrical conducting, incompressible and elastico-viscous fluid in the presence of a magnetic field acting along the radius of the pipe. Analytical expressions for axial velocity, fluid acceleration and flow rate has been obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
