Abstract
A mathematical model has been developed to investigate the influence o f externally imposed periodic body acceleration on blood flow in aorta and arteriole. The rheological properties of blood has been represent ed by regarding the blood as a two-phase Newtonian fluid, that is, a s uspension of cells in plasma. An exact analytical solution of coupled differential equations, describing the flow of a particle-fluid suspen sion, is obtained using the Laplace transforms technique. The effects of body acceleration and blood cells concentration on velocity, flow r ate, acceleration and shear rates are computed and displayed graphical ly.
