Pulsatile flow of blood in constricted narrow arteries under periodic body acceleration is analyzed, modeling blood as non-Newtonian fluid models with yield stress such as i Herschel-Bulkley fluid model and ii Casson fluid model. The expressions for various flow quantities obtained by Sankar and Ismail 2010 for Herschel-Bulkley fluid model and Nagarani and Sarojamma 2008 , in an improved form, ...

The pulsatile flow of blood through catheterized arteries is analyzed by treating the blood as a two-fluid model with the suspension of all the erythrocytes in the core region as a non-Newtonian fluid and the plasma in the peripheral layer as a Newtonian fluid. The non-Newtonian fluid in the core region of the artery is represented by i Casson fluid and ii Herschel-Bulkley fluid. The expression...

in this paper, changes of casson non-newtonian fluid velocity profile, for different distribution of porosity, have been investigated. for distribution of porosity, fixed, radial and exponential variations has been considered. for all three states, brinkman model has been used as momentum equation. since the casson fluid is a good model for blood, this analysis can be used in studying about cho...

The study of the effect of leukocyte adhesion on blood flow in small vessels is of primary interest to understand the resistance changes in venular microcirculation. Available computational fluid dynamic studies provide information on the effect of leukocyte adhesion when blood is considered as a homogeneous Newtonian fluid. In the present work we aim to understand the effect of leukocyte adhes...

rheological properties of chocolate are important in manufacturing process for obtaining high-quality products with well-defined texture and are directly influenced by composition and their refining time. soy protein benefits from nutritional and functional properties to be used in different foods. effects of different replacement levels of skim milk powder by soy flour, (from 0 to 100%) and ba...

Through this paper, we investigated the unsteady free convection flow of a Casson fluid bounded by a moving vertical flat plate in a rotating system with convective boundary conditions. The governing equations of the flow have been solved analytically using perturbation technique. The effects of various non-dimensional governing parameters like Casson parameter, magnetic field parameter, therma...

This article addresses the boundary layer flow and heat transfer of Casson fluid over a nonlinearly permeable stretching surface with chemical reaction in the presence of variable magnetic field. The effect of thermal radiation is considered to control the rate of heat transfer at the surface. Using similarity transformations, the governing partial differential equations of this problem are red...

In the present study, an investigation is carried out on the effects of physical parameters on Casson fluid non dimensional numbers. The governing nonlinear partial diffe...

In this study, effects of numerous physical quantities like dissipation, thermal radiation, and induced magnetic field on magnetohydrodynamic Casson fluid flow through a vertical plate is addressed. The non-dimensional multivariable governing equations are solved numerically by by means of Runge-Kutta method along with shooting technique. The behavior of velocity, temperature and induced magnet...

Effect of nonlinear thermal radiation on the unsteady magnetohydrodynamic slip flow of Casson fluid between parallel disks in the presence of thermophoresis and Brownian motion effects are investigated numerically. A similarity transformation is employed to reduce the governing partial differential equations into ordinary differential equations. Further, Runge-Kutta and Newton’s methods are ado...
