Effect of Resistance to flow and wall shear stress on axially symmetric artery for Non-Newtonian fluid Model of blood flow through a stenosis

S.S. Yadav, Krishna Kumar

Abstract

An effort has been made to explore the non-Newtonian behaviour on blood flow through a stenosed artery with Power-law fluid model. Numerical illustration presented at the end of the paper provides the consequences for resistance to flow and wall shear stress through their graphical representations. It is seen that resistance to flow ( ) increases with stenosis size for different values of flow index behavior ( n ). We have also shown the variations in wall shear stress with the axial distance ( 0 z l / ) for different index behavior and stenosis size.

Keywords

Resistance to flow, wall shear stress, axial distance, index behavior
