Abstract
The present article illustrates the influence of heat source on MHD blood flow in a branched artery with small obstacle in its main artery by treating blood as micropolar fluid. Artery forming branch is presumed as straight cylinder of restricted length and is symmetric about its axis. The irregular shape of constricted branched artery is changed to a well defined shape by utilizing a adial coordinate transformations. Numerical solution is computed for interested physical quantities such as rate of flow, and shearing stress on one as well as the other sides of the apex.
Highlights
The investigation of fluid dynamics properties of biological systems such as human arterial system with respect to the development of mild constriction in the artery has been main object of research fraternity in recent years
Bourhan and Ahmad [10] illstruated the impact of magnetic field on blood flow characteristics in a multi-stenosed artery
Impact of magnetic field and pulsatile pressure gradient on flow of micropolar fluid has been studied by Srinivasacharya and Rao [9]
Summary
The investigation of fluid dynamics properties of biological systems such as human arterial system with respect to the development of mild constriction in the artery has been main object of research fraternity in recent years. Mathematical Modeling of Blood Flow Through a Stenosed Bifurcated Artery. Shit and Roy [7] explored the pulsatile behavior of flow of blood over a constricted artery in existence of magnetic field. Bourhan and Ahmad [10] illstruated the impact of magnetic field on blood flow characteristics in a multi-stenosed artery. Ellahi et al [2] studied the characteristics of micropolar fluid over a constricted artery with heat and mass transfer. Impact of magnetic field and pulsatile pressure gradient on flow of micropolar fluid has been studied by Srinivasacharya and Rao [9]. Sabaruddin and Ismail [4] investigated the velocity profile, temperature profile and streamline pattern at various locations considering effect of Reynold numbers to the blood flow
