Non-Newtonian biomagnetic fluid flow through a stenosed bifurcated artery with a slip boundary condition

The effects of a velocity slip and an external magnetic field on the flow of biomagnetic fluid(blood)through a stenosed bifurcated artery are investigated by using ANSYS FLUENT.Blood is regarded as a non-Newtonian power-law fluid,and the magnetization and electrical conductivity are considered in the mathematical model.The no-slip condition is replaced by the first-order slip condition.The slip boundary condition and magnetic force are compiled in the solver by the user-defined function(UDF).Numerical solutions are obtained by the finite volume method based on a nonuniform grid structure.The accuracy and efficiency of the solver are verified through a comparison with the literature.The results are presented graphically for different parameter values,and the effects of the magnetic number,the magnetic source position,the vascular obstruction ratio,the slip parameter,and the power-law index on the flow and temperature fields are illustrated.

Blood Flow Through a Catheterized Artery Having a Mild Stenosis at the Wall with a Blood Clot at the Centre

The blood flow through a catheterized artery having a mild stenosis at the wall together with a blood clot at the centre is studied in the current investigation.Stenosis can occur in vessels carrying blood to brain(i.e.,Carotid arteries),Renal arteries that supply blood to kidneys etc.The flow is refined in such vessels by application of catheter.We have used a Newtonian viscous fluid model and also distinct shapes of stenosis,(i.e.,symmetric and non-symmetric shapes)are considered for this study.The entropy generation togetherwith viscous dissipation is also taken into account for a complete description of heat transfer mechanism.Exact solutions are calculated for the problem subject to given“no slip conditions”.The results are discussed graphically.The velocity quickly increases for a non-symmetric stenosis as compared to a symmetric stenosis.When the height of mild stenosis increases and the channel becomes narrow then the velocity increases in the centre but it decreases with the stenosed wall.However,as the height of blood clotσincreases then the velocity of blood flow reduces with the wall having clot but it remains almost same with the stenosed wall.Streamlines are plotted to visualize the flow pattern.The trapping is symmetric for a symmetric stenosis shape but it changes to non-symmetric trapping when we have a non-symmetric shape of stenosis.

Mathematical modelling of couple stresses on fluid flow in constricted tapered artery in presence of slip velocity-effects of catheter

This paper explores the mathematical model for couple stress fluid flow through an annular region. The above model is used for studying the blood flow be-tween the clogged （stenotic） artery and the catheter. The asymmetric nature of the stenosis is considered. The closed form expressions for the physiological parameters such as impedance and shear stress at the wall are obtained. The effects of various geomet-ric parameters and the parameters arising out of the fluid considered are discussed by considering the slip velocity and tapering angle. The study of the above model is very significant as it has direct applications in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

A Mathematical Study on Three Layered Oscillatory Blood Flow Through Stenosed Arteries

A mathematical model is constructed to examine the characteristics of three layered blood flow through the oscillatory cylindrical tube （stenosed arteries）. The proposed model basically consists three layers of blood （viscous fluids with different viscosities） named as core layer （red blood cells）, intermediate layer （platelets/white blood cells） and peripheral layer （plasma）. The analysis was restricted to propagation of small-amplitude harmonic waves, generated due to blood flow whose wave length is larger compared to the radius of the arterial segment. The impacts of viscosity of fluid in peripheral layer and intermediate layer on the interfaces, average flow rate, mechanical efficiency, trapping and reflux are discussed with the help of numerical and computational results. This model is the generalized form of the preceding models. On the basis of present discussion, it is found that the size of intermediate and peripheral layers reduces in expanded region and enhances in contracted region with the increasing viscosity of fluid in peripheral layer, whereas, opposite effect is observed for viscosity of fluid in intermediate layer. Final conclusion is that the average flow rate and mechanical efficiency increase with the increasing viscosity of fluid in both layers, however, the effects of the viscosity of fluid in both layers on trapping and reflux are opposite to each other.

The Blood Flow of Prandtl Fluid Through a Tapered Stenosed Arteries in Permeable Walls with Magnetic Field

This Communication deals with the blood flow of Prandtl fluid through a tapered stenosed arteries having permeable walls.The governing equations of two-dimensional Prandtl fluid model are modelled in cylindrical coordinates.The highly nonlinear equations are simplified with the help of non-dimensional variables under the assumption of mild stenosis.The solution of reduced nonlinear equation subject to boundary condition of porous walls having the effects of Darcy's number and slip parameter are computed analytically with the help of perturbation method.Effects of emerging parameters such as impedance A,slip parameter a,stenosis height 6,magnetic parameter and stress component Srz on velocity are illustrated graphically.The streamlines have also been presented to discuss the trapping bolus discipline.

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

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 ease 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.
