THEORETICAL ANALYSIS OF BLOOD FLOW THROUGH AN ARTERIAL SEGMENT HAVING MULTIPLE STENOSES

Abstract

The present paper is concerned with the study of a mathematical model for the flow of blood through a multi-stenosed artery. Blood is considered here to consist of a peripheral plasma layer which is free from red cells, and a core region which is represented by a Casson fluid. A suitable generalized geometry of multiple stenoses existing in the arterial segment under consideration is taken for the study. A thorough quantitative analysis has been made through numerical computations of the variables involved in the analysis that are of special interest in the study. The computational results are presented graphically.
