Abstract

An eccentric annular region created by insertion of endoscope or catheter in a blood vessel is considered. A sinusoidal wave is assumed to propagate on outer wall, inner wall being rigid. A fully developed flow of couple-stress is assumed in the annular region subject to approximation of long wavelength. Analytical solution is obtained for pressure gradient and axial velocity using regular perturbation method. Average flow rate Q¯ is fixed. The effect of azimuthal coordinate θ, couple stress parameter α and eccentricty ϵ are studied.
