Blood Flow Through Stenosed Arteries in the Presence of Silica $(SiO_2)$ Nano Particles

Abstract

The numerical investigation of blood flow through stenosed human arteries in the presence of Silica $(SiO_2)$ nanoparticles (NPs) is carried out. The governing equations are discretized using the finite difference method, and the simulations are performed in MATLAB. The study focuses on analyzing the influence of Silica $(SiO_2)$ nanoparticles on velocity distribution, volumetric flow rate, and resistive impedance. Results indicate that the inclusion of nanoparticles significantly alters these hemodynamic parameters, with a marked impact on velocity, flow rate, and impedance.
