Abstract

Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) principles used in the treatment of cardiovascular disorders are significant. To provide a generalized treatment for the flow of the blood through a porous channel under the influence of transverse magnetic field and different pressure gradients, a non-Newtonian fluid based on Eyring-Powell model is chosen for the analysis. An implicit finite difference method is adopted for the unsteady flow of the fluid
