Two-layered model of blood flow through stenosed arteries
We investigate a two-layered mathematical model of blood flow through an artery provided with a cosine-shaped constriction. The model consists of a peripheral plasma layer free from red cells and a core region represented by a Casson fluid. The theoretical results obtained are the expressions for wall shear stress and pressure drop for variable plasma layer thickness. The effect of the variable plasma layer thickness on the flow characteristics has been shown graphically for different parameter values.
