Summary: | Hemodynamic is the knowledge of blood circulation, which is useful in the diagnosis of coronary
illness. The reason behind the malfunction of cardiovascular system is the presence of fats,
cholesterol and lipoproteins at the sites of atherosclerotic lesion in the artery [1]. In recent years,
due to its great importance in the human cardiovascular system, the study of blood flow through
constricted arteries has received a great deal of attention [2–4]. Prasad and Radhakrishnamacharya
[5] considered the steady blood flow through an inclined non-uniform tube with multiple stenoses.
Agarwal and Varshney [6] studied the flow of Herschel-Bulkley fluid through an inclined tube of nonuniform
cross-section with multiple stenoses. Biswas and Paul [7] observed the steady blood flow
through an inclined tapered vessel, where the blood was modelled as Newtonian fluid and the slip
vessel wall condition was applied. Also, their analysis includes one-dimensional Poiseuille blood flow
through tapered vessels with inclined geometries. Ismail and Jamali [8] explored the dynamic
response of heat transfer in the steady laminar blood flow through the stenotic bifurcated artery.
