Blood Flow Analysis in the Stenosed Artery using Galerkin Approach

Abstract

An exploration has been done using the Galerkin method to examine the effects of a magnetic field on steady blood flow in an inclined, tapered artery with stenosis. The flow is assumed to be time-independent and axisymmetric. The physical scenario is modeled through mathematical equations, accompanied by suitable boundary conditions aligned with magnetohydrodynamic theory. Various flow characteristics within the stenosed artery have been computed and illustrated graphically for different parameter values. These findings underscore the importance of considering arterial geometry and magnetic effects in hemodynamic modeling for improved diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular conditions.
