The authors deal with a theoretical study of the blood flow in arterial segments in the presence of stenosis. They consider the blood to be composed of two different layers of two different non-Newtonian fluids, characterized by Herschel-Bulkley and power law models. It is inferred that the time variant geometry of the stenosis plays an important role. The effects of surrounding connective tissues are also incorporated. Making use of the quantitative analysis through numerical computation of the interesting variables, the applicability of the model is shown. The present investigations based on realistic considerations may be of some interest to bioengineers engaged in the design and construction of artificial organs.
