Numerical solution of unsteady blood flow through an indented tube with atherosclerosis.
The unsteady blood flow through an indented tube with atherosclerosis in the presence of mild stenosis has been studied numerically by finite difference method. The effects of hematocrit, frequency parameter, height of stenosis, parameter determining the shape of the constriction on velocity field, volumetric flow rate, pressure gradient of the fluid in stenotic region and wall shear stress at the surface of stenosis are obtained and shown graphically.
