Abstract:Flow of blood, infused with magnetic nanoparticles, in a W‐shaped stenosed human arterial segment is studied numerically using a realistic non‐Newtonian blood rheology model. It is observed that the Newtonian model predicts less time to reach a steady state than the non‐Newtonian blood rheology model. An increased drug retention time at the target site with an increase in nanoparticle concentration is predicted. Detailed simulations further reveal that the skin friction coefficient does not increase significan… Show more
