Suspension Model For Blood Flow Through A Tapering Catheterized Inclined Artery With Asymmetric Stenosis, Devajyoti Biswas, Moumita Paul Jun 2015

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 …


The Two-Phase Arterial Blood Flow With Or Without A Catheter And In The Presence Of A Single Or Multi Stenosis, Ani E. Garcia, Daniel N. Riahi Dec 2013

The Two-Phase Arterial Blood Flow With Or Without A Catheter And In The Presence Of A Single Or Multi Stenosis, Ani E. Garcia, Daniel N. Riahi

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

We consider the problem of blood flow in an artery with or without a catheter and in the presence of single or multi stenosis whose shape is based on the available experimental data for the stenosis in a human’s artery. The presence of stenosis in the artery, which locally narrows portion of the artery, can be a result of fatty materials such as cholesterol in the blood. The use of catheter is important as a standard tool for diagnosis and treatment in patience whose blood flow passage in the artery is affected adversely by the presence of the stenosis within …


A Macroscopic Two-Phase Blood Flow Through A Bell Shaped Stenosis In An Artery With Permeable Wall, V. P. Srivastava, Mala Tandon, Rupesh K. Srivastav Jun 2012

A Macroscopic Two-Phase Blood Flow Through A Bell Shaped Stenosis In An Artery With Permeable Wall, V. P. Srivastava, Mala Tandon, Rupesh K. Srivastav

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The present work concerns the effects of the hematocrit and the permeability of the wall on blood flow characteristics due to the presence of a bell shaped stenosis in an artery. In this analysis, the flowing blood is represented by a macroscopic two-phase model, as a suspension of erythrocytes in plasma. The analytical expressions for the flow characteristics, namely, the flow resistance (impedance), the wall shear stress distribution in the stenotic region and the shearing stress at the stenosis throat have been derived. Results for the effects of permeability as well as of hematocrit on these flow characteristics are shown …


A Two-Layered Non-Newtonian Arterial Blood Flow Through An Overlapping Constriction, V. P. Srivastava, Rochana Vishnoi, Shailesh Mishra, Poonam Sinha Jun 2011

A Two-Layered Non-Newtonian Arterial Blood Flow Through An Overlapping Constriction, V. P. Srivastava, Rochana Vishnoi, Shailesh Mishra, Poonam Sinha

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The problem of blood flow through an overlapping constriction in arteries is investigated in this work. To account for the non-Newtonian behavior and the peripheral layer, blood has been represented by a two-fluid model, consisting of a core region of suspension of all the erythrocytes assumed to be a Casson fluid and a peripheral layer of plasma (Newtonian fluid). The expression for the flow characteristics, namely, the impedance, the wall shear stress, the shear stress at the stenosis throats and at the critical height of the stenosis has been derived. Moreover, we present some results concerning the dependence of these …


Blood Flow Through A Composite Stenosis In An Artery With Permeable Wall, Shailesh Mishra, S. U. Siddiqui, Amit Medhavi Jun 2011

Blood Flow Through A Composite Stenosis In An Artery With Permeable Wall, Shailesh Mishra, S. U. Siddiqui, Amit Medhavi

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The present work concerns the fluid mechanical study on the effects of the permeability of the wall through an artery with a composite stenosis. The expressions for the blood flow characteristics, the flow resistance, the wall shear stress, shearing stress at the stenosis throat have been derived. Results for the effect of permeability on these flow characteristics are shown graphically and discussed briefly.


Particulate Suspension Blood Flow Through A Stenosed Catheterized Artery, V. P. Srivastava, Rochana Vishnoi, Poonam Sinha Dec 2010

Particulate Suspension Blood Flow Through A Stenosed Catheterized Artery, V. P. Srivastava, Rochana Vishnoi, Poonam Sinha

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The flow of blood through a narrow catheterized artery with an overlapping stenosis has been investigated. To account for the presence of red cells, blood has been represented by a macroscopic two-phase model (i.e., a suspension of erythrocytes in plasma). The expression for the flow characteristics-the flow rate, the impedance (resistance to flow), the wall shear stress in the stenotic region, the shear stresses at the stenosis two throats and at critical height of the stenosis, has been derived. It is found that the impedance increases with the catheter size, with the hematocrit and also with the stenosis size (height …


Non-Newtonian Arterial Blood Flow Through An Overlapping Stenosis, V. P. Srivastava, Shailesh Mishra Jun 2010

Non-Newtonian Arterial Blood Flow Through An Overlapping Stenosis, V. P. Srivastava, Shailesh Mishra

Applications and Applied Mathematics: An International Journal (AAM)

The effects of an overlapping stenosis on blood flow characteristics in a narrow artery have been investigated. To account for the non-Newtonian behavior, blood has been represented by a Casson fluid. The equation describing the flow has been solved and the expressions for the flow characteristics, namely, the impedance, the wall shear stress, the shear stress at the stenosis throats and the shear stress at the critical height of the stenosis have been derived. It is shown that the impedance increases with the non-Newtonian behavior of blood as well as with the stenosis size. The shear stress at the stenosis …
