A Numerical Study on Effect of Magnetic field on Stenosed Artery

Abstract

In this paper the flow of blood in a stenosed artery under the influence of external induced magnetic field is studied numerically. The artery is considered as circular tube. The effects of external induced magnetic field on axial velocity, flow rate and wall shear rate are studied. The variation of the axial velocity and magnetic field distribution has been illustrated graphically for variation of different parameters such as Reynolds number, Hartmann number , Magnetic Reynolds number etc. The effects of all the parameters are quite significant on flow characteristics.
