The major health issue in the modern world is cardiovascular
disease. Cardiovascular diseases are actually group diseases associated with
the abnormal functioning of the blood vessels. These diseases have a close
relationship with the nature of blood movement. In the view of this, the study
of blood flow through various types of arteries is of considerable importance
in many cardiovascular diseases. One of such disease is Stenosis, is
progressive of cardiovascular disease. Stenosis can happen in all arteries. It
is one of the most frequent abnormalities in blood circularity. Stenosis is
defined as a partial occlusion of the arteries due to the accumulation of fatty
substances, cholesterol, calcium, cellular waste products and other substances
on inner walls of the artery. Cardiovascular system can cause circulatory
disorders by reducing or occluding the blood supply which may result in serious
consequences like chest pain, shortness of breath, heart attack and strokes.
The hemodynamic behavior of the blood flow is influenced by the presence of the
arterial stenosis. If the stenosis is present in an artery, normal blood flow
is disturbed. The actual causes of stenosis are not well known but its effects
on the cardiovascular system can be understood by studying the blood flow
through stenosed arteries.
The main aim of this book is to analyze the flow problems in
the stenosed arteries, because the flow problems play vital role in the
arterial network system, which will furnish a better assessment of physiology
on human body.
The objective of this book is to examine the
different physiological situations and develops mathematical models by
contemplating different non-Newtonian fluids with mixture of nanoparticles in
constricted tubes under various situations. The main fluid flow characteristics
namely, resistance to the flow, pressure drop, wall shear stress, temperature
profile and nanoparticle phenomena are discussed in detail. This can play a
significant role in the development and progression of the pathological conditions.
Hence a detailed knowledge of the flow field in a stenosed artery may help in
proper understanding and prevention of arterial diseases……..Author(s) Details:
