Abstract

An attempt has been made to study the slip effect on Bingham-plastic flow of blood through a constricted artery. In the present study I have considered the steady flow of blood through an axially symmetric but radially non-symmetric stenosed artery. The variation of flux, resistance to flow and skin friction with different stenosis height and yield stress in presence of slip velocity have been incorporated here. The results are shown graphically and discussed.
