Swimming of Motile Gyrotactic Microorganisms and Nanoparticles in Blood Flow Through Anisotropically Tapered Arteries
In the present article, we have presented a theoretical study on the swimming of migratory gyrotactic microorganisms in a non-Newtonian blood-based nanofluid via an anisotropically narrowing artery. Sutterby fluid model is used in order to understand the rheology of the blood as a non-Newtonian flui...
