Radial Variation of Axial and Radial Velocity of Blood in Stenosed Artery in the Presence of Body Accelerations

Abstract

The paper studies the flow of blood through a stenosed artery in the presence of body accelerations. The mathematical model is constructed by considering blood to be a Newtonian fluid. The artery is assumed to have axisymmetric shape. The shape of stenosis is time dependent. The present paper calculates both radial and axial velocities. The governing blood flow equations are solved using finite difference approximation numerically and radial variation of axial and radial velocities is discussed. These velocities are plotted for different times.
