Abstract : Atherosclerosis, the buildup of fatty deposits and other substances in the arteries, causes the abnormal condition known as arterial stenosis. A heart attack may occur if the heart's blood supply is suddenly cut off. We have demonstrated in this study that a decrease in hematocrit causes a decrease in blood flow within the stenotic cylinder. We have also compared the pressure drop against the stenosis wall to the pressure drop against the unobstructed wall, and compared the maximum shear stress to the minimum shear stress at different stenosis thicknesses relative to the artery's radius to draw conclusions about the dynamics.

Keywords : wall shear stress ratio, pressure drop, volumetric flow rate, hematocrit level, Walburn-Schneck model
