Abstract
The effects of an overlapping stenosis on blood flow characteristics in an artery have been studied. Blood has been represented by a couple stress fluid. The flow equations have been linearised and the expressions for pressure drop, resistance to the flow and wall shear stress have been derived. The results are shown graphically. It is observed that the resistance to the flow, pressure drop and wall shear stress increases with height and length of the stenosis. And it is noticed that the resistance to the flow and pressure drop decreases with couple stress fluid parameters. But wall shear stress increases with couple stress fluid parameters.
期刊介绍:
TJPRC: Journal of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering (JNAME) is a peer reviewed journal and it provides a forum for engineers and scientists from a wide range of disciplines to present and discuss various phenomena in the utilization and preservation of ocean environment. Without being limited by the traditional categorization, it is encouraged to present advanced technology development and scientific research, as long as they are aimed for more and better human engagement with ocean environment. Topics include, but not limited to: marine hydrodynamics; structural mechanics; marine propulsion system; design methodology & practice; production technology; system dynamics & control; marine equipment technology; materials science; under-water acoustics; satellite observations; and information technology related to ship and marine systems; ocean energy systems; marine environmental engineering; maritime safety engineering; polar & arctic engineering; coastal & port engineering; aqua-cultural engineering; sub-sea engineering; and specialized water-craft engineering. International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering is published quarterly by the Society of Naval Architects of Korea. In addition to original, full-length, refereed papers, review articles by leading authorities and articulated technical discussions of highly technical interest are also published.
