title: Numerical solution of non-steady magnetohydrodynamic flow of blood through a porous channel.
abstract: Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) principles may be used to decelerate the flow of arterial blood and hence be of potential value in the treatment of cardiovascular disorders associated with an accelerated circulation. We examine the non-steady flow of blood in a porous parallel plate channel under the influence of a transverse magnetic field and different pressure gradients.
