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

Table 2

Estimates of the resistance to flow 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°.
