Abstract : The present work deals with the blood flow through a composite stenosis assuming that flowing blood is represented by a two layered model consisting of a core region of suspension of all the erythrocyte assumed to be a particle-fluid suspension (i.e., a suspension of all erythrocyte in plasma) surrounded by a peripheral layer of plasma (Newtonian fluid). The expression for the flow characteristics, namely, the impedance, the wall shear stress and the shear stress at the stenosis throat has been derived. Discussions are made from a physiological point of view with the help of graph.

Keywords : Stenosis, haematcrit, plasma, peripheral layer, core region
