Abstract
Blood viscosity plays a crucial role in determining blood flow dynamics and has significant implications for cardiovascular health. Understanding how external factors, such as magnetic fields, influence blood viscosity and flow characteristics can offer new therapeutic insights. This study investigates the effect of hematocrit levels on blood viscosity and the Reynolds number in the abdominal aorta and evaluates the potential impact of applying a magnetic field on these parameters. Graphical analysis highlights that magnetic field application can reduce blood viscosity, thereby increasing the Reynolds number and potentially improving blood flow.
