Abstract
- The effect of body acceleration on the pulsatile flow of blood through the elliptical artery having stenosis at the multiple positions of its wall is investigated in the current study. The artery is inclined at angle θ with horizontal, and blood is considered as Casson fluid. The mathematical model is processed into non-dimensional form and simplified using assumptions of mild stenosis. The analytical solution of mathematical equations is obtained in the elliptic bounded domain by employing the perturbation technique with Womersley frequency as a perturbation parameter and validated through case comparison with the previous study. The impacts of external acceleration, stenosis height, shape, gravitational acceleration, yield stress, and inclination angle on the flow velocity, flow rate, wall shear stress, and flow resistance are analyzed. It is found that body acceleration, gravitational acceleration, and inclination angle increase the flow rate and diminish the frictional resistance. The more significant yield stress and stenosis height enhance the flow resistance and reduce the flow rate. Moreover, fluid has higher velocity in the case of the non-symmetric shape of stenosis compared with the symmetric form.
