In the present paper a two fluid model for pulsatile blood flow through stenosed
artery has been developed. The model consists of a core region of suspension of all
the erythrocytes assumed to be a Bingham plastic fluid and a peripheral layer of
plasma as Newtonian fluid. The analytic expressions for blood flow characteristics
namely velocity, wall shear stress, flow rate, plug core radius and effective viscosity
are obtained by using perturbation method. The effects of body acceleration and slip
velocity have been discussed. We have shown the variation of flow variables with the
different parameters and discussed with the help of graph. It is observed that the
velocity and flow rate increases but effective viscosity decreases, due to a slip
velocity. Body acceleration further enhances the velocity and flow rate.
