Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This article explicates the blood flow across an artery with multiple stenosis at outer wall and a thrombus at the centre. The symmetric multiple stenosis and non-symmetric multiple stenosis shapes are both considered in this study. Entropy analysis is also taken into account for a detailed study of irreversibility. The governing equations are interpreted with provided boundary conditions and exact mathematical solutions are developed. Further, these exact solutions are elucidated graphically. Streamlines show that the closed contours are symmetric in shape for symmetric multiple stenosis but non-symmetric in shape for non-symmetric multiple stenosis shape. The increase in multiple stenosis heights, increases the shear stress at wall having multiple stenosis.
