NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF BLOOD FLOW WITH SODIUM ALGINATE (SA) NANO PARTICLES IN STENOSED HUMAN ARTERIES IN THE PRESENCE OF BODY ACCELERATION

Numerical simulation of blood flow with sodium alginate nano particles in stenosed human arteries in the presence of body acceleration is obtained. Effect of sodium alginate (SA) nano particles in the presence of body acceleration is observed on velocity, flow rate and resistive impedance to blood flow in stenosed human artery. The governing equations are discretized by explicit finite difference scheme. The discretized equations are the simulated using MATLAB. Velocity, flow rate and impedance to flow are observed to be influenced in the presence of both nano particles as well as body acceleration. The joint effect of nano particles and body acceleration is also observed. Resistance to flow is observed to be less in the presence of nano particles. This nano particle drug delivery may be useful for patients having cardiovascular diseases
