title: Two-phase model of blood flow through stenosed tubes in the presence of a peripheral layer: applications.
abstract: The effects of red cell concentration and the peripheral layer on blood flow characteristics due to the presence of a mild stenosis, are studied. It is shown that the magnitudes of the flow characteristics significantly increase with cell concentration and the peripheral layer causes marked reduction in the magnitudes of the flow characteristics. Physiological relevance and the influence of various parameters are discussed.
