Entrance Effects of Blood Model Casson Fluid in
the Concentric Rings with Inner Ring Rotation
Srinivasa Rao Nadiminti, A. Kandasamy
Abstract:This research article analyzes the entrance effects
in concentric rings with rotation of inner ring for the blood
model Casson non-Newtonian fluid. The investigation is done
with the assumption that, the inner ring rotates with a constant
velocity along angular direction also the outer ring is at rest. The
finite difference technique was applied to find the velocity
profiles, variation of pressure in the radial coordinate direction.
Calculation has been done for different annular gap values and
Casson number. The compared results for different special cases
was made and observed to be concordant.

I. INTRODUCTION
The effects in the entrance zone of concentric rings of
laminar non-Newtonian fluid with inner ring rotation
having technical applications like, heat exchangers design,
turbo machinery and industries of polymer processing.
Very often, laminar flow operations provide optimal
conditions to maintain a less power pumping proportionally
to the rate of heat transfer. Also in the field of nuclear
reactors, this is happening when the cooling rates reduced.
All the fluids which having practical applications are not
obey Newtonian equation, so they are called as rheological
fluids. Various suspensions such as coal, blood, food,
paintings, polymer solutions. Here the blood model Casson
fluid is taken, which belongs to the fluid class of flow with
independent of time.
The Newtonian fluid flow in the entrance zone
problem in a concentric rings was studied by [4]. [8]
analyzed the entrance effects of Bingham fluids in the
concentric rings and analyzed the boundary layer thickness.
[2] studied the relationship for the Casson fluid with outer
ring rotation and inner ring is at rest between two rotating
cylinders in the annular space. [11]used finite difference
technique to analyze the non-Newtonian fluid in the
geometry of concentric rings with the previous mentioned
conditions. The relation of stress and strain for the Casson
fluid is given by Fung [6]

constitutive equation was successfully applicable to
chocolate and blood. Further, Casson fluid flow with a side
branch in a narrow tube has been investigated by [9].
Homogeneous porous medium for the flow of Casson fluid
in a pipe has been considered by [5]. [1] investigated
Magneto hydrodynamic flow with heat transfer for the non-
Newtonian fluid in an eccentric rings. Analytical solution in
the entrance region blood flow in a concentric annuli has
been obtained by [3] assuming the blood to obey Casson
model. Recently [7,10] analyzed the entrance effects of
non-Newtonian flow in the concentric rings.
The problem of Casson fluid in the concentric rings to the
flow of the inlet region has been studied in the present
work. The analysis was performed by taking the non-
rotating outer ring is at rest and rotating the inner ring.
Using the Prandtls boundary layer hypotheses, conservation
equations of momentum, mass are solved and analyzed by
finite difference technique. The algebraic system of
equations in nonlinear form are obtained and was solved by
the iterative method of Newton-Raphson. The compared
results for different special cases was made and observed to
be concordant.
II. PROBLEM FORMULATION
Fig.1 shows the geometrical Representation of the problem.
The Casson fluid entered in to the concentric rings
horizontally with R1 and R2 are the inner and outer radius
respectively, with the uniform uniform velocity u0 along
the axial direction with p0 as the initial pressure. The non
rotating outer ring is at rest and the inner ring rotating with
the angular velocity. The flow is axisymmetric,
incompressible and laminar. The system of cylindrical polar
coordinates apt to the geometry of the problem for the
Casson fluid in the entrance are given by
