Abstract :

In this paper, we have investigated the study of pulsatile blood flow through a inclined channel bounded by porous beds under the influence of an externally applied magnetic field. The effect of non-Newtonian nature of blood in blood vessels has been taken into account as a couple stress fluid. A Perturbation technique is employed to solve the governing differential equations. The velocity field and volumetric flow rate are calculated analytically and presented graphically for different values of the physical parameters.
