Abstract
The pulsatile flow of blood in narrow arteries with multiple-stenoses under body acceleration is analyzed mathematically, treating blood as (i) single-phase Herschel-Bulkley fluid model and (ii) two-phase Herschel-Bulkley fluid model. The expressions for various flow quantities obtained by Sankar and Ismail (2010) for single-phase Herschel-Bulkley fluid model and Sankar (2010c) for two-phase Herschel-Bulkley fluid model are used to compute the data for comparing these fluid models in a new flow geometry. It is noted that the plug core radius, wall shear stress and longitudinal impedance to flow are marginally lower for two-phase H-B fluid model than those of the single-phase H-B fluid model. It is found that the velocity decreases significantly with the increase yield stress of the fluid and the reverse behavior is noticed for longitudinal impedance to flow. It is also noticed that the velocity distribution and flow rate are higher for two-phase Herschel-Bulkley fluid model than those of the single-phase Herschel-Bulkley fluid model. It is also recorded that the estimates of the mean velocity increase with the increase of the body acceleration and this behavior is reversed when the stenosis depth increases.
