It is well known that the fluid dynamics of arterial blood flow play an important role in arterial disease. The periodic blood flow through a stenosed tube with a moving wall is analyzed numerically. The Windkessel model is used to express arterial wall movement. A revised Casson model which is appropriate for numerical simulation is proposed as a constitutive equation of blood. The flow is assumed to be periodic, incompressible and axisymmetric. The influence of wall movement on flow through a stenosed tube is investigated. The flow pattern, separated region and the distributions of pressure and shear stress at the wall are obtained. The results show that the wall movement reduces the strength of vortex downstream of the stenosis and has considerable influence on the physical quantity of flow at the wall in one period. Therefore, it is concluded that the influence of wall movement should be taken into consideration for blood flow through a stenosed tube.

A numerical method employing physical components of the tensorial quantity as dependent variables on boundary-fitted curvilinear grids is applied to the simulation of flow in arbitrary cross-section curved pipes for an imposed pressure gradient of oscillatory nature. The basic equations are formulated for Stokes fluid. The computation for a Newtonian incompressible fluid in curved concentric annuli and curved eccentric annuli was carried out for the range 10^3 ≤ De ≤ 10^5, 1 ≤ Wo ≤ 10^2, where De is the Dean number and Wo is the Womersley number. It is found that, at very low or very high Womersley number, the amplitude of the wall shear stresses derived numerically is in good agreement with that of the zero-th order of the asymptotic expansions of the solution of concentric annuli as the curvature parameter δ tends to zero, and that 2 pairs of secondary flow appear for even low Womersley number, contrary to the case of the circular coiled tubes.
