Abstract
This chapter investigates the effect of pulsatility on flow through a tapered artery. Blood has been represented by a non-Newtonian fluid obeying the Herschel-Bulkley equation. Using the Reynolds number as the perturbation parameter, a perturbation technique is adopted to solve the resulting quasi-steady, nonlinear, coupled, implicit system of differential equations. It is observed that the wall shear stress and flow resistance increase with increasing values of the taper angle and the axial distance. The present approach generally ...
