Mathematical Modeling of Micropolar Blood Flow in A Stenosed Artery Under the Body Acceleration and Magnetic Field

This study aims to examine the pulsatile ow of blood through tapered artery with a stenosis under the e ects of body acceleration and external magnetic eld. blood ow is modeled as non-newtonian micropolar uid. the non-linear governing equations of continuum and momentum in the cylindrical coordinate are being discretized using a nite di erence approach and have been solved iteratively, through crank-nicolson method. the blood velocity distribution, volumetric ow rate and resistance to blood ow at the stenosis throat are computed for various values of angle of tapering, amplitudes of body acceleration and hartman number. it is shown that the results are in good agreement with the previous studies.
