ANALYSIS OF PERISTALTIC FLOW IN DISEASED ARTERY

摘要

In the functioning of ureters, intestines, esophagus and in medical instruments such as the heart-lung machine, fluid is transported by a unique process, arteries of contractions of the wall propagates along the length of the tube causing fluid to be transported in the direction of the wave. This is called peristaltic pumping. In the paper, we have studied the effect of asymmetric Peristalsis on blood flow through an artery with stenosis. Here, we have considered the blood as a Newtonian fluid. Here, the basic equation is taken as Navier-stokes equation and we have transformed the stationary co-ordinates to moving Co-ordinates. The friction force and resistance to flow has been obtained.
