Pulsatile Flow of a Two-Fluid Model for Blood Flow through Arterial Stenosis

Table 1

Estimates of the wall shear stress increase factor for the two-phase Herschel-Bulkley fluid model and single-phase Herschel-Bulkley fluid model for different stenosis sizes with n=0.95,  A=α=αH=0.5, β=0.985, θ=0.1, and t=45°.
