Abstract
The influence of magnetic field on a steady blood flow through vascular stenosed artery was investigated by assuming blood to be a Newtonian fluid. The Navier-Stokes equations governing the flow through the axial directions were solved using integral momentum method. The velocity profile graphs obtained show that as magnetic field increases on the stenosis area, the velocity decreases.
