Thermal analysis in unsteady oscillatory Darcy blood flow through stenosed artery

This study aims to provide an extensive overview of the consequences of heat source and thermal radiation on blood flow in stenosed arteries through Casson fluid. We examine the behaviour of an unsteady non-Newtonian fluid under oscillatory Darcy flow. This analysis explores the impact of blood flow in the stenosed arteries on the momentum and energy profiles of the Casson fluid. In addition, this study examines a parametric analysis to illustrate the impact of the Nusselt number and Casson parameter. Higher values of the thermal radiation and Casson-Viscous parameters result in enhanced velocity fields. The Brinkman model accurately represents the resistance to flow caused by the porous material, known as Darcy resistance. The inner space of the coronary artery generates cholesterol-rich fatty plaques and blood clots that block the artery, simulating the diseased condition of blood circulation in this study. We employ a set of non-dimensional variables to convert the governing equations of the current flow into dimensionless partial differential equations. Analytical methods have derived a solution for the studied problem. The discovery is pertinent to the natural circulation of blood through coronary arteries, which are highly porous. A particular artery pathology creates a permeable structure within the arterial lumen. The current study demonstrates that blood flow may be manipulated by adjusting the intensity of the external magnetic field, while the temperature of the blood can be managed by either increasing or decreasing its thermal conductivity. The graphical representation demonstrates the impact of different physical parameters on velocity, temperature, and concentration profiles. The significant results of the current studies are that, the fluid velocity diminishes with rising magnetic and Biot numbers but exhibits an increase when considering the Darcy number and Hall parameter. There is a gentle increase in the wall shear stress as the Casson parameter ( β ) increases from 0.1 to 0.3 . For β = 0.3 , the percentage change along the axial direction ( x ) is more pronounced. This is because the wall shear stress is proportional to the number of Casson parameters.
