Abstract
Laminar flow of blood considering the blood as a Casson fluid has been studied. It is observed that the axial velocity, volumetric flow rate and pressure gradient increase with the increase in slip velocity and decrease with growth in yield stress. The results derived have been presented both analytically and graphically for a better understanding by choosing the appropriate parameters.
