PULSATILE FLOW OF INELASTIC FLUIDS THROUG H POROUS ANISOTROPIC DEFORMABLE DUCTS

A numerical resolution concerning pulsatile flows of inelastics fluids through porous anisotropic elastic ducts is presented. The objective is to investigate the effects of anisotropy of pipe wall material for a generalized Casson fluid. Using an implicit difference method to res olve the equations, the determine the axial and radial velocity profil es, the pressure, the flow rate and the flow rate filtration distribut ions and the wall axial and radial displacement. This study, considere d as a step in modelling of flow in blood vessels, may also contribute to other important fields such as water desalination or gel filtratio n.
