Non-Newtonian Rheology in Blood Circulation

Fluid Dynamics 2014-06-10 v2 Biological Physics

Abstract

Blood is a complex suspension that demonstrates several non-Newtonian rheological characteristics such as deformation-rate dependency, viscoelasticity and yield stress. In this paper we outline some issues related to the non-Newtonian effects in blood circulation system and present modeling approaches based mostly on the past work in this field.
