Unsteady polar fluid model of blood flow through tapered ω-shape stenosed artery: Effects of catheter and velocity slip

In this paper, we considered the pulsatile flow of blood through catheterized tapered artery in the presence of an ω-shaped stenosis. Blood flow is modelled as homogeneous incompressible couple stress fluid. Further the effects of velocity slip at the arterial wall are also examined. The analysis is...
