Carreau fluid model for blood flow through a tapered artery with a stenosis
In present article, we have studied the blood flow through tapered artery with stenosis. The non-Newtonian nature of blood in small arteries is analyzed mathematically by considering the blood as Carreau fluid. Carreau fluid is a type of generalized Newtonian fluid. At low shear rate Carreau fluids...
