FLOW OF ERINGEN FLUID (SIMPLE MICROFLUID) THROUGH AN ARTERY WITH MILDSTENOSIS

This paper presents an analysis for blood how through a stenosed arter y considering the localized effects of the stenosis. The blood vessel is modelled as a rigid tube and the particulate nature of blood is acc ounted through an Eringen fluid (simple microfluid) model. Further a p eripheral layer of Newtonian fluid has been considered in the model to account for the cell free layer. It is observed that the resistance t o the how as well as the wall shear stress increase as the height of t he stenosis increases. However, the trend is reversed as the periphera l layer thickness increases.
