Magnetohydrodynamic effects on blood flow through an irregular stenosis

Abstract: SUMMARYThis paper investigates the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) effects on the blood flow. Rheological properties of blood have been taken into account through the constitutive equations of a micropolar fluid. Unsteady nonlinear differential system is solved numerically by employing finite difference method. Explicit results of axial velocity, flow rate and wall shear stress are obtained and analyzed. It is found that an applied magnetic field reduces the blood flow rate.

“…The quantitative results of the α, β, n, δ, N t , andN b for diverging tapering, converging tapering, and non-tapered arteries are observed physically in Figures 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22 that with an increase in the thermophoresis parameter N t and stenosis shape n, the velocity profile decreases, while velocity profile increases with an increase in the maximum height of the stenosis δ, Brownian motion parameter N b , and Prandtl parameters α and β. It is also seen that for the case of converging tapering, it has a larger value as compared with the case of diverging tapering and non-tapered arteries.…”

“…They visualized that the shape of the stenosis in the arterial lumen is chosen to be irregular in order to improve resemblance to the in-vivo situation. Rheological properties of blood have been taken into account through the constitutive equations of a micropolar fluid by Abdullah et al [3], according to their analysis blood exhibits non-Newtonian characteristics at low shear rates. Mekheimer and El Kot [4] also discussed the blood flow analysis for micropolar fluid model for axisymmetric but radially symmetric mild stenosis tapered artery.…”
