Pulsatile Flow of Two-Fluid Nonlinear Models for Blood Flow through Catheterized Arteries: A Comparative Study

The pulsatile flow of blood through catheterized arteries is analyzed by treating the blood as a two-fluid model with the suspension of all the erythrocytes in the core region as a non-Newtonian fluid and the plasma in the peripheral layer as a Newtonian fluid. The non-Newtonian fluid in the core re...
