Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of blood flow in large and small arteries under the influence of externally applied periodic oscillations. The solutions for the blood velocity, fluid acceleration and shear stress are obtained. It has been shown that high blood velocity and large shear stresses are produced in large arteries. However, in the case of small arteries the flow is not disturbed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
