Heat And Mass Transfer In Micropolar Model For Blood Flow Through A Stenotic Tapered Artery, Moses S. Dada, Funmilola Alamu-Awoniran Dec 2020

Heat And Mass Transfer In Micropolar Model For Blood Flow Through A Stenotic Tapered Artery, Moses S. Dada, Funmilola Alamu-Awoniran

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

Heat and mass transfer in blood flow through a tapered artery with mild stenosis is examined. The blood is considered to be an incompressible, micropolar fluid flowing through a vessel with nonsymmetric axial and symmetric radial axes. The geometry of the model takes into account the shape parameter, tapered angle and height of the stenosis.The variation in the shape parameter is used to describe the changes in the axial shape of the stenosis in the artery. The governing equations for the model, comprising the continuity, momentum, energy, and mass transfer equations are transformed and simplified under the assumption of mild …


Hematocrit Level On Blood Flow Through A Stenosed Artery With Permeable Wall: A Theoretical Study, A. Malek, A. Hoque Jun 2017

Hematocrit Level On Blood Flow Through A Stenosed Artery With Permeable Wall: A Theoretical Study, A. Malek, A. Hoque

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The paper deals with the hematocrit level on resistance of flow, wall shear stress in a stenosed artery of permeable wall. In the paper we have developed and solved some theoretical formulas based on stenosis and hematocrit effects. The results highlight that the resistance of flow increases for increasing of stenosis height where the hematocrit level (35%-45%) has significant effects. Moreover, the effects of slip parameter and Darcy number due to permeability of the wall on resistance of flow have been investigated. The effects of hematocrit level, slip parameter and Darcy number have been focused on wall shear stress of …

Suspension Model For Blood Flow Through A Tapering Catheterized Inclined Artery With Asymmetric Stenosis, Devajyoti Biswas, Moumita Paul

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

We intend to study a particle fluid suspension model for blood flow through an axially asymmetric but radially symmetric mild stenosis in the annular region of an inclined tapered artery and a co-axial catheter in a suitable flow geometry has been considered to investigate the influence of velocity slip at the stenotic wall as well as hematocrit, shape parameter. The model also includes the tapering effect and inclination of the artery. Expressions for the flow variables have been derived analytically and their variations with various flow parameters are represented graphically. The results for the different values of the parameters involved …


Effect Of Slip Condition On Coup Le Stress Fluid Flow In A Channel With Mild Stenosis In The Presence Of Uniform Magnetic Field, Gurju Awgichew, G. Radhakrishnamacharya, B. Shireesha Jun 2014

Effect Of Slip Condition On Coup Le Stress Fluid Flow In A Channel With Mild Stenosis In The Presence Of Uniform Magnetic Field, Gurju Awgichew, G. Radhakrishnamacharya, B. Shireesha

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The s teady flow of an incompressible couple stress fluid in a two dimensional uniform channel with stenosis under the influence of a magnetic field has been investigated. Assuming the stenosis to be mild, the flow equations have been analy tically solved using the slip condition and expressions for the resistance to flow and wall shear stress have been derived. The effects of various parameters on these flow variables have been studied. It is found that the resistance to flow as well as the wall shear stress increase with the height of the stenosis and decrease with the couple stress …

Mathematical Model Of Blood Flow Through A Composite Stenosis In Catheterized Artery With Permeable Wall, Rupesh K. Srivastav

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The present mathematical analysis, the study of blood flow through the model of a composite stenosed catheterized artery with permeable wall, has been performed to investigate the blood flow characteristics. The expressions for the blood flow characteristics-the impedance (resistance to flow), the wall shear stress distribution in stenosis region, the shear stress at the throat of the stenosis have been derived. The results obtained are displayed graphically and discussed briefly.


Mathematical Modelling Of Blood Flow Through Catheterized Artery Under The Influence Of Body Acceleration With Slip Velocity, S. U. Siddiqui, Sapna Geeta Dec 2013

Mathematical Modelling Of Blood Flow Through Catheterized Artery Under The Influence Of Body Acceleration With Slip Velocity, S. U. Siddiqui, Sapna Geeta

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The flow of blood through stenosed catheterized artery with the effect of external body acceleration has been considered. The pulsatile flow behaviour of blood in an artery subjected to the pulsatile pressure gradient and slip velocity has been studied considering blood as a Newtonian fluid. The non-linear differential equations governing the fluid flow are solved using the perturbation method. The analytic expressions are derived for the velocity profile, flow rate, wall shear stress and effective viscosity. The computer codes are developed for the analysis of physiological parameters. The effects of various parameters on blood flow are discussed through graphs. It …


Piv-Based Investigation Of Hemodynamic Factors In Diseased Carotid Artery Bifurcations With Varying Plaque Geometries, Sarah Kefayati Aug 2013

Piv-Based Investigation Of Hemodynamic Factors In Diseased Carotid Artery Bifurcations With Varying Plaque Geometries, Sarah Kefayati

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

Ischemic stroke is often a consequence of complications due to clot formation (i.e. thrombosis) at the site of an atherosclerotic plaque developed in the internal carotid artery. Hemodynamic factors, such as shear-stress forces and flow disturbances, can facilitate the key mechanisms of thrombosis. Atherosclerotic plaques can differ in the severity of stenosis (narrowing), in eccentricity (symmetry), as well as inclusion of ulceration (wall roughness). Therefore, in terms of clinical significance, it is important to investigate how the local hemodynamics of the carotid artery is mediated by the geometry of plaque. Knowledge of thrombosis-associated hemodynamics may provide a basis to introduce …


Two-Layered Pulsatile Blood Flow In A Stenosed Artery With Body Acceleration And Slip At Wall, Devajyoti Biswas, Uday Shankar Chakraborty Dec 2010

Two-Layered Pulsatile Blood Flow In A Stenosed Artery With Body Acceleration And Slip At Wall, Devajyoti Biswas, Uday Shankar Chakraborty

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

Pulsatile flow of blood through an artery in presence of a mild stenosis has been investigated in this paper assuming the body fluid blood as a two-fluid model with the suspension of all the erythrocytes in the core region as Bingham Plastic and the peripheral region of plasma as a Newtonian fluid. This model has been used to study the influence of body acceleration, non- Newtonian nature of blood and a velocity slip at wall, in blood flow through stenosed arteries. By employing a perturbation analysis, analytic expressions for the velocity profile, Plug-core radius, flow rate, wall shear stress and …
