1. Consider a catheter of radius Replaced in a small artery of radius R as shown in the figure. The catheter moves at a R constant speed V. In addition blood AR flows through the annular region between Re and R under a pressure gradient Ap/L that only varies in the z- direction. We want to determine the effect of the catheter upon the shear stress at r=R. 1.1. Write your assumptions 1.2. Show cancellations accordingly 1.3. Write the final equations. Integrate to determine the velocity. 1.4. Write the BCs.
