Abstract:
The current numerical investigation focuses on the sensitivity analysis of the pertinent parameters of the electrically conducting fluid (blood) with the suspension of Al2O3 nanoparticles through the constricted arteries in the presence of stenosis, thrombosis and catheter. The mathematical model is developed to simulate the blood flow through the catheterized artery having irregular stenosis at the wall and thrombosis at the centre. The interactions of different physical phenomena like electroosmosis, radiation, Joule heating and a uniform radial magnetic field actuate the fluid flow. The nanoparticles shape effect is taken into account by considering the Crocine model. The governing equations are discretized by employing the Crank-Nicolson scheme, and the graphical portrayals for the impact of significant parameters on the flow characteristics have been devised and discussed. The statistical experiment is designed based on the parametric range of the parameter. The sensitivity analysis is performed on response surfaces after getting the best-fitted response surface relative to each response variable. The WSS profile negatively correlates with hematocrit parameter , Hartmann number M and positively related with Debye–Huckel parameter , while the reverse trend is observed for the impedance profile. The present work may be helpful in biomedical engineering, such as magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), which creates artery images. The integrated medical imaging and hemodynamic framework assist surgeons and researchers in better understanding the abnormalities caused by cardiovascular diseases and gaining a deeper grasp of the hemodynamic flow and other bodily fluids for surgical restoration.
