The effects of a composite stenosis on blood flow characteristics in an
artery have been investigated. The flowing blood has been represented by a
macroscopic two-phase model (i.e., a suspension of red cells in plasma). The
expressions for the flow characteristics, namely, the impedance, the wall shear stress
and the shear stress at the stenosis throat have been obtained. The effects of
hematocrit on these flow characteristics have been discussed thoroughly and briefly.
