In this paper, a model is presented for investigating some hydrodynamic characteristics of blood flow through a large arterial vessel of slightly non-circular cross section. The viscosity of blood is assumed non-uniform due to a distribution of erythrocytes (red cells). The effects of such variation of viscosity on the hydrodynamic flow characteristics, e.g., velocity profiles, volumetric flow rate and shear stress distribution are investigated. These characteristics are then compared with the similar results obtained for the case of blood flow through the corresponding tube of circular cross section.
