Abstract

This paper presents an analysis for blood flow through a stenosed artery considering the localized effects of the stenosis. The blood vessel is modelled as a rigid tube and the particulate nature of blood is accounted through an Eringen fluid (simple microfluid) model. Further a peripheral layer of Newtonian fluid has been considered in the model to account for the cell free layer. It is observed that the resistance to the flow as well as the wall shear stress increase as the height of the stenosis increases. However, the trend is reversed as the peripheral layer thickness increases.
