Pulsatile Flow of Two-Fluid Nonlinear Models for Blood Flow through Catheterized Arteries: A Comparative Study

Figure 2

Variation of yield plane locations for different fluid models in a time cycle with $k=A=0.5$ and $\theta =0.05$. The width of the plug-flow region is minimum at 90° and maximum at 270°. At any instant of time, the width of the plug-flow region of the two-fluid models is marginally lower than that of the single-fluid models and, there is not much difference between the widths of the plug-flow regions of the two-fluid models and the similar behavior is noticed for the single-fluid models.
