In the present study a mathematical model for the blood flow in stenosed artery in the presence of magnetic field is proposed. The laminar, incompressible, fully developed, non-Newtonian flow of blood in an artery having multiple stenosis is numerically studied under the action of transverse magnetic field. The governing equations are transformed by using a radial transformation and the numerical results are obtained using a finite difference technique. Effect of overlapping stenosis and externally applied magnetic field in the blood flow is discussed with the help of graph. All the flow characteristics are found to be affected by the presence of multiple stenosis and exposure of magnetic field of different intensities.
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.
