Blood Flow Through a One-point Stenosed Artery: Reynolds Number Effects | Chapter 02 | Theory and Applications of Mathematical Science Vol. 1
This paper studies the effects of
Reynolds number on the oscillating flow in through a one-point stenosed artery.
The nonlinear equations governing the flow are solved analytically by the
method of perturbation series solutions. Expressions for the velocities and
wall shear stress are obtained and analyzed graphically. It is found that
increase in the Reynolds number increases the velocities and wall shear stress.
Similarly, it is seen that a flow separation occurs in the radial velocity flow
structure.
