A Two-Zone Shear-Induced Red Blood Cell Migration Model for Blood Flow in Microvessels
The Fåhraeus and Fåhraeus-Lindqvist effects are both associated with the concentration of red blood cells (RBCs) in the core region of microvessels. The annular region is a cell-free layer. Blood flow dynamics and both effects are related to the hematocrit level profile. The aim is to propose a mode...
