Effects of Magneto-Hydrodynamic and Hematocrit on Blood Flow in an artery with multiple mild stenosis

Abstract

Fluid flow analysis of blood flow through multi stenosis arteries in the presence of magnetic field is investigated. In this paper the effect of magnetic field and shape of stenosis on the flow rate, pressure gradient, wall shear stress and resistance parameter is studied. The blood flowing through the artery is considered to be Newtonian. This model is consistent with the principles of Ferro hydrodynamics and magneto hydrodynamics (MHD). The results indicate that rise in systolic pressure and fall in diastolic pressure are very harmful for weak heart.
