Abstract

Sickle cell is a disease that affects the growth and life expectancy of a given population infected with this disease. Hence, we carried out a theoretical study on the improvement of blood flow and the morphology effect on red blood cells in sickle cell patient using a mathematical model. This morphological effect on the red blood cell comes as a result of the effect of treatment parameter embedded in the governing equation. The governing dimensional second order partial differential equations was transformed to non-dimensional form and solved analytically using the Frobenius method and solutions was gotten for both the blood momentum, energy and diffusion. The solutions for the flow of the red blood cell and wall shear stress was obtained with the result showing that heat source increase causes an increase in the flow of blood, reducing the shear stress at the wall and increasing the volumetric flow rate. This effect caused an improvement in the sickle shape of the deformed RBC and an improved flow which will reduce the crises experienced in patients with SCD. Finally, the increase in chemical reaction caused an increase in the pulsatile pressure of the sickled blood cell which results to an increase in the blood flow.
