Unsteady solute transport in Casson fluid flow and its retention in an atherosclerotic wall

In the current study, a mathematical model of convective solute transport and its retention in an atherosclerotic wall is examined. The artery wall is supposed to be permeable and has cosine-shaped stenosis caused by various sorts of abnormal growth or plaque formation. The flowing blood is modeled as the suspension of all red blood cells in plasma, thought to be Casson fluid. The Immersed Boundary Method (IBM) and the Marker and Cell (MAC) method are used to numerically solve the unsteady governing equations of motion along with the appropriate initial and boundary conditions. The final results of the quantitative studies contain the corresponding flow-field and solute distribution profiles for the full arterial length. The essential components are evaluated, including the wall shear stress, wall concentration, and concentration contours. According to simulation data, the permeability of the wall directly affects the solute transport within the therapeutic region. The yield stress does, however, increase flow resistance and decrease solute uptake within the tissue. The projected outcomes are remarkably in line with previously published findings, which supports the applicability of the model under investigation.
