MHD Flow of Blood through Radially Non-symmetric Stenosed Artery: a Hershcel-Bulkley Model

The purpose of this study is to develop a mathematical model for studying the magnetic field effect on blood flow through an axially non-symmetric but radially symmetric atherosclerotic artery. Herschel-Bulkley equation has been taken to represent the non-Newtonian character of blood. The response ofmagnetic field, stenosis height, shape parameter on velocity, volumetric flow rate in stenotic section and wall shear stress at the surface of stenosis are revealed analytically and graphically
