“…These effects increase with magnitude of magnetic field gradient and decrease with Re. It has been shown in the previous works 27,28 that applying nonlinear magnetic field in the suitable position leads to decrease in the surface concentration of macromolecules over the arterial wall in the different geometries. In this work, the positive effect of applying a magnetic field to enhance wall shear stress (a region with low WSS encourage to atherosclerosis in the arterial wall), also enhancing the Nu number was shown.…”

In this paper, the results of adding nanoparticles and applying non-uniform magnetic fields on a biofluid (blood) flow through a two-dimensional horizontal channel with a step are reported. Two magnetic fields with positive and negative gradients were applied. The control volume technique and two-phase mixture model in the numerical approach have been used to illustrate the hydro-thermal behavior of flow. Simulation results reveal that nanoparticles can significantly increase the Nusselt number and wall shear stress. Also, the wall shear stress, Nu, and recirculation length in the presence of a magnetic field with different gradients can be externally controlled. Based on the results, the negative gradient magnetic field increases wall shear stress and Nu in the affected region, unlike the positive gradient.
