Mathematical Analysis of Casson Fluid Model for Blood Rheology in Stenosed Narrow Arteries
The flow of blood through a narrow artery with bell-shaped stenosis is investigated, treating blood as Casson fluid. Present results are compared with the results of the Herschel-Bulkley fluid model obtained by Misra and Shit (2006) for the same geometry. Resistance to flow and skin friction are nor...
