Computational Analysis of Unsteady Flow of Blood and Heat Transfer through a Stenosesd Artery in a Third Grade Fluid Model with Slip Conditions

This paper investigates the computational analysis of unsteady flow of blood and heat transfer through a stenosed artery in a third grade fluid model with slip conditions. Incorporated into the model is an externally applied magnetic field. The solutions of the unsteady non-linear dimensionless momentum and energy equations are obtained using Galerkin's weighted residual and Fourth order Runge-Kutta methods. Effects of slip velocity, magnetic field, shear thinning, shear thickening and other parameters on the flow and heat transfer characteristics are presented graphically and discussed.
