ABSTRACTWe present a coupled two-fluid model for hydrodynamic surface modes on concentrated polymer solutions and swollen polymer gels. This model is used to investigate such surface modes in the limit of strong coupling. We discuss the form of the modes as a function of polymer concentration and the effects of chain diffusion and surface tension on the nature of these modes.

AbstractThe present communication presents a theoretical study of blood flow through a stenotic artery with a porous wall comprising Brinkman and Darcy layers. The governing equations describing the flow subjected to the boundary conditions have been solved analytically under the low Reynolds number and mild stenosis assumptions. Some special cases of the problem are also presented mathematically. The significant effects of the rheology of blood and porous wall of the artery on physiological flow quantities have been investigated. The results reveal that the wall shear stress at the stenotic throat increases dramatically for the thinner porous wall (i.e. smaller values of the Brinkman and Darcy regions) and the rate of increase is found to be 18.46% while it decreases for the thicker porous wall (i.e. higher values of the Brinkman and Darcy regions) and the rate of decrease is found to be 10.21%. Further, the streamline pattern in the stenotic region has been plotted and discussed.
