Abstract:
The Present investigation deals with the two-layered mathematical model of
blood flow for a mild stenosis artery in the presence of axially variable, peripheral
layer thickness and variable slip at the wall. The model consists of a core surrounded
by a peripheral layer. It is assumed that the fluids of both the regions (core and
peripheral) are Newtonian having different viscosity. The geometry of the interface
between the peripheral layer and the core region has been determined and the result
obtained in the analysis have been evaluated numerically and discussed briefly. In the
present analysis, new analytic expression for the thickness of the peripheral layer has
been obtained in terms of measurable quantities flow rate Q , centerline velocity U ,
pressure gradient dz dp , plasma velocity
c
. It is important to mention that in the
present analysis, core viscosity has been obtained by two methods. Firstly by
calculating from the formula obtained in the present analysis and second by
calculating the red cell concentration in the core and then using concentration versus
relative viscosity curve. It is found that the agreement between the two is very good
(error<1.4%). The significance of the present model over the existing models could be
useful in the development of new diagnosis tools for many diseases.
