A Casson Fluid Model for Multiple Stenosed Artery in the Presence of Magnetic Field

Abstract: The flow of blood through a multistenosed artery under the influence of external applied magnetic field is studied. The artery is modeled as a circular tube. The effect of non-Newtonian nature of blood in small blood vessels has been taken into account by modeling blood as a Casson fluid. The effect of magnetic field, height of stenosis, parameter determin- ing the shape of the stenosis on velocity field, volumetric flow rate in stenotic region and wall shear stress at surface of stenosis are obtained and show… Show more

“…The subsequent assumptions have been made to form the problem mathematically; blood is incompressible, nonhomogeneous and viscous; flow is two-dimensional, unsteady and fully developed; no induced magnetic field; no external electric field is applied; negligible electric field; transverse magnetic field is applied externally. The governing equation satisfying all these conditions is given by [2] (3)…”

“…The flow is also considered as axially symmetric, incompressible and fully developed. It is entirely reasonable to consider the flow in one direction as the velocity does not change in the direction of flow, except near the entrance and exit regions [10]. Consider an external magnetic field of strength 0 B which makes an angle  with the * z -axis which induced a magnetic field B makes also an angle  to the free stream velocity.…”

“…Sanyal and Maiti [5] use the series solution for solving a mathematical model on arterial blood flow in the presence of mild stenosis and magnetic field. Bali and Awasthi [20] discussed the effect of an externally applied uniform magnetic field on the multi stenosed artery with core region. They considered blood as casson fluid by properly accounting for yield stress of blood in small blood vessel.…”
