When 2F +G<3, is positive and real. When 2F+G>3, is imaginary. So, the blunted velocity profile, equation (3.2.10)
will be valid for 2F+G<3 and for the case 2F+G>3, the polynomial velocity profile equation (9) will be used to approximate
the flow. The profile equations (3.2.9) and (3.2.11) are substituted into (3.2.7). Then it becomes

For classification purposes the severity of a stenosis is often defined by the maximum reduction in lumen area expressed as a
percentage (percent stenosis). Model M-1 represents a relatively mild stenosis with a 56 percent severity of constriction and
a total length of 8R
0
. Model M-2 has the same length but is more severe with 89 percent constriction. To evaluate the effect
of stenosis length, model M-3 was designed to have the same severity as M-2 but only half of its length.
4. Result and discussion
The problem under investigation is solved numerically using Shooting Method. Numerical calculations have been done for
various combinations of parameters i.e., the Hartmann number M and Reynolds number Re with slip and no slip. The Young
model is used in computing the centerline velocity U. After obtaining the centerline velocity U from (12), the axial velocity
profiles (u) are computed directly by substituting U into (9) or (11). Then the value of u substituting in equation (13) the
velocity profile v are computed. The wall shear stress T
w
has been computed from the relation (14) for both slip and no slip
case.

Numerical results are shown graphically. It has been observed that the effect of the Hartmann number M and Reynolds
number Re on the velocity field as well as on the wall shear stress is very prominent.
It is observed that the centerline velocity U decreases with increasing Reynolds number at M=1.5 (Fig. 4). The nature of U is
also same with no slip (Fig. 5). The centerline velocity U increases when the Hartmann number increases with slip at Re=50
(Fig. 2). The nature of U is same in no slip case also (Fig. 3). It is seen that when Hartmann number increases the axial
velocity (v) decreases with slip (Fig. 6). A similar case occurs in no slip also (Fig. 7). The axial velocity increases when
Reynolds number increases with slip (Fig. 8). A similar case occurs in no slip also (Fig. 9).
The present problem reduces to the problem discussed by Chaturani [14] when M=0. It is observed that when the Hartmann
number increases the fluid velocity and the wall shear stress is greatly affected. Numerical results agree well with their
solution in non-magnetic case. The mathematical expressions may help medical practitioners to control the blood flow of a
patient whose blood pressure is very high, by applying certain magnetic field.
