%X The present numerical model was developed to determine the effect of magnetic field on blood flow through an axially non-symmetric but radially symmetric atherosclerotic artery. Blood rheology was described by a weak form Bingham plastic equation. The effect of magnetic field is considered in the transverse direction of blood flow and viscosity of blood is taken as radial co-ordinate dependent. It was disclosed that in the presence of magnetic field, blood did not drastically change the flow patterns, but caused an appreciabledecrease in the shear stresses and a slightly lower resistance to flow.
