The present work deals with the flow of blood through a bell shaped stenosis
assuming that the flowing flood is represented by a macroscopic two-phase model (i.e., a
suspension of erythrocytes in plasma). The coupled differential equations describing the
flow of fluid (plasma) and the particle (red cell) phases have been solved and the
expressions for the flow characteristics, namely, the impedance, the wall shear stress in
the stenotic region, the shear stress at the stenosis throat have been derived. Results
obtained in the paper have been discussed graphically in brief.
