ABSTRACT

The asymptotic analysis of a micropolar flow through a wavy tube structure is studied. We suppose that the domain depends on a small parameter that represents the width and the order of the periodicity of the domain. The Stokes and Navier-Stokes problems in the union of tubes (with a constant section) were earlier studied. The generalization of the Method of Asymptotic Partial Decomposition of Domain in a structure with some periodic tubes is described and justified in order to propose a simplified modeling for the bloodstream.
