Abstract: In the 21st century, the flow of blood through stenosed arteries is one of the main research areas in computational biomechanics due to its role in the medical field. In the present investigation, a study of non-Newtonian blood flow in one half of cosine shaped stenosed artery in the presence of externally applied transverse magnetic field is proposed. The expressions for dimensionless axial velocity, wall shear stress and volumetric flow rate have been obtained. The effect of externally applied magnetic field on blood flow has been discussed with the help of graphs. All the flow characteristics are found to be affected in the presence of externally applied transverse magnetic field.
