Abstract
The purpose of this study to show the effects of Hematocrit (Red blood cells), height of stenosis, porous parameter and velocity of blood on wall shear stress of the flow of blood through tapered artery. The study reveals that wall shear stress reduces for increasing Hematocrit percentage. It is also observed that wall shear stress increases as stenosis height and porous parameter increase whereas it decreases with the increasing values of velocity of blood and slope of tapered artery.
Highlights
Atherosclerosis is a dangerous disease and is caused due to the abnormal growth in lumen of arterial wall
Verma and Parihar [3] proposed the effects of Hematocrit on blood flow in an artery with multiple mild stenosis
Verma and Parihar [5] developed a mathematical model to study the effect of stenosis and Hematocrit on flow rate, wall shear stress and resistance parameter through tapered artery under stenotic conditions by considering laminar flow, rigid walls and Newtonian fluid
Summary
Atherosclerosis is a dangerous disease and is caused due to the abnormal growth in lumen of arterial wall. Biswas and Chakraborty [1] investigated pulsatile flow of blood through a tapered artery in the presence of a mild stenosis They studied the influence of Hematocrit and a velocity slip at wall, in blood flow through stenosed arteries. Verma and Parihar [3] proposed the effects of Hematocrit on blood flow in an artery with multiple mild stenosis In their theoretical modeling, blood viscosity is assumed to behave as a linear function of Hematocrit. Verma and Parihar [5] developed a mathematical model to study the effect of stenosis and Hematocrit on flow rate, wall shear stress and resistance parameter through tapered artery under stenotic conditions by considering laminar flow, rigid walls and Newtonian fluid. The nearby analysis will be very valuable in study of above mentioned problems in stenosed artery
