Biomathematical study of Sutterby fluid model for blood flow in stenosed arteries

Abstract

In this paper, we have discussed the biomathematical analysis of Sutterby fluid model for blood flow in stenosed tapered arteries. The equations for the Sutterby fluid model are modeled in cylindrical geometry. The equations have been developed for the case of mild stenosis. Perturbation solutions are attained in terms of small Sutterby fluid parameter β for the velocity, impedance resistance and wall shear stress. Three types of arteries i.e. converging, diverging and non-tapered have been considered for the analysis and discussion. Graphical results have been presented for different parameters of interest. Streamlines have been plotted at the end of the paper.
