Thermal radiation effect on inclined arterial blood flow through a non-Darcian porous medium with magnetic field

Abstract

A theoretical analysis is presented for the hydro-magnetic inclined arterial blood flow through a non-Darcy porous medium with thermal radiation. A uniform magnetic field is applied to the inclined porous surface. The dimensionless governing coupled, non-linear partial differential equations are solved by an efficient, accurate and extensively validated and unconditionally stable finite difference scheme of the Crank-Nicolson type. The effects of the various important parameters entering into the problem like thermal radiation, Reynolds number, hydro-magnetic parameter, Forchheimer parameter, Darcian parameter, Prandtl number, inclined angle and variable viscosity parameter on the velocity and temperature have been examined with the help of graphs.
