Abstract
A mathematical model is developed to study the characteristics of blood flow through flexible inclined arteries under the influence of an inclined magnetic field. The blood is supposed to be couple stress fluid and the geometry of wall surface of inclined arteries is taken as peristaltic wave. The expressions for axial velocity, volume flow rate, pressure gradient and stream function are obtained under the assumptions of long wavelength and low Reynolds number. The effects of different physical parameters reflecting couple stress parameter, Hartmann number, Reynolds number, Froude number, inclination of channel and inclination of magnetic field on velocity profile, pressure and frictional force are discussed. The stream lines are drawn for various values of emerging parameters and the trapping phenomenon is discussed. The significant features of the blood flow characteristics are analyzed by plotting graphs and discussed numerically in detail.
