Bio-mathematical analysis of electro-osmotically modulated hemodynamic blood flow inside a symmetric and nonsymmetric stenosed artery with joule heating

Abstract

This is the first paper that explains electro-osmotically modulated hemodynamic inside a stenosed artery, considering both cases of symmetric and nonsymmetric shapes of stenosis. Blood is treated as an aqueous ionic solution. The energy equation incorporates viscous dissipation as well as Joule heating effects. Exact solutions are calculated for governing equations subject to “no slip” boundary conditions. These solutions are further discussed through graphical results. The flow pattern for symmetric and nonsymmetric stenosis is visualized by plotting streamlines for this flow problem.
