Abstract
The mathematical model clearly shows that the increase in wall shear stress affects the aggregation of human platelets and rearranging the alignment of endothelial cells near the arterial wall. This implies that the wall shear stress is to be brought down below its critical level by increasing the values of Darcy number and half of the bifurcation angle. Further, the nature of increased flow resistance reduces the amount of blood supply to the vital organs which ultimately leads to a sudden death. This information is useful for bio-medical engineering in developing bio-medical instruments for a great potential treatment modalities inturn, prevent the causes of stroke, heart attack and renal failure.
