Strokes are still one of the leading causes for death after heart diseases and cancer in all over the world. Most strokes happen because an artery that carries blood uphill from the heart to the head gets clogged. Most of the time, as with heart attacks, the problem is atherosclerosis, hardening of the arteries, calcified buildup of fatty deposits...

This article explicates the blood flow across an artery with multiple stenosis at outer wall and a thrombus at the centre. The symmetric multiple stenosis and non-symmetric multiple stenosis shapes are both considered in this study. Entropy analysis is also taken into account for a detailed study of irreversibility. The governing equations are inte...

The present communication presents a theoretical study of blood flow through a stenotic artery with a porous wall comprising Brinkman and Darcy layers. The governing equations describing the flow subjected to the boundary conditions have been solved analytically under the low Reynolds number and mild stenosis assumptions. Some special cases of the...
