      The present study deals with the effect of externally-imposed body accelerations on blood flow in arteries. A mathematical model of flow in single arteries subject to a pulsating pressure gradient as well as body acceleration is presented. The resulting equations are solved by using the technique of Laplace transforms. Computational results are presented for the effects of body accelerations on flow variables namely flow rate, velocity of flow, acceleration and shear stress corresponding to typical arteries of human subjects.
