This study presents a comprehensive investigation of the hemodynamic and heat transfer behavior of different geometrical-shaped overlapped stenosed arteries in the presence of electro-osmotic velocity using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. Additionally, the application of boundary stress at one wall of the artery is considered, adding an important aspect to the analysis. By incorporating electro-osmotic velocity, which accounts for fluid movement induced by an applied electric field, this study explores the interplay between electro-kinetic phenomena and arterial flow dynamics. A multidisciplinary approach is adopted, combining CFD simulations with experimental validation, to assess flow characteristics, wall shear stress distribution and pressure gradients in these intricate arterial configurations. This study provides a valuable comparative analysis of boundary stress and electro-osmotic velocity, revealing their effects on arterial hemodynamics and heat transfer in the presence of overlapping stenoses. The findings of this study provide valuable insights into the hemodynamic consequences of overlapped stenosed arteries and the impact of electro-osmotic velocity, along with the application of boundary stress, on flow behavior. The outcomes of this research provide a foundation for advancing clinical decision-making and intervention strategies, facilitating personalized treatment approaches for patients with complex arterial pathologies.
