Abstract: The present paper investigates the effect of magnetic field on oscillatory blood flow in multistenosed artery, and flow of blood is considered as laminar, incompressible and non-Newtonian. The results are obtained for oscillatory blood flow using shooting method. Numerical solution obtained for the axial velocity of fluid, flow rate, wall shear stress and impedance. Results show graphically. We observed that axial velocity of fluid decreases as the increase of the values of the Hartmann number and the frequency parameter. Axial velocity and flow rate increases as increase the Reynolds number, decreases as increase the value of Hartmann number. Wall shear stress increases as increase Reynolds number and Impedance to the flow increase due to increase of Reynolds number as well as Hartmann number.
