Motivated by the concept of blood flow in a stenosed artery, this present research investigates the influence of stenosis shape in terms of height and arterial inclination on the blood flow and solute dispersion behaviour through an inclined stenosed artery. The blood rheology is depicted using the Herschel-Bulkley model in a laminar, axisymmetric and incompressible unsteady flow through the stenosed artery. The effect of stenosis is focused on the stenosis height for both sine and cosine stenosis. Parameters of arterial inclination are also investigated to observe the effect of inclination on the blood velocity and dispersion function. Perturbation method is adopted in solving for the blood flow velocity under the effect of stenosis height and arterial inclination. The dispersion function of solute dispersion is solved using the obtained blood velocity by adopting the Generalized Dispersion Model (GDM) in obtaining steady dispersion functions. This present study shows that the increase in stenosis height decreases both blood velocity and dispersion function. Meanwhile, the increase in arterial inclination increases the blood velocity and dispersion function. The effect of stenosis height also affects blood velocity and dispersion function for the sine stenosis more than the cosine stenosis.
