Blood Rheology and Its Implication in Flow of Blood

  • Chapter
Arteries and Arterial Blood Flow

Part of the book series: International Centre for Mechanical Sciences ((CISM,volume 270))

Summary

Rheological behaviour of blood is studied as dominated by plasma viscosity, hematocrit and Red Cell properties, namely aggregability and deformability. Quantitative models for highly concentrated suspensions, which exhibit shear thinning, thixotropy and viscoelasticity, are discussed. Annular (two-phase) flow models are developped for analysing blood flow in narrow vessels. Some examples in clinical application are given.
