Synthetic Capillaries to Control Microscopic Blood Flow
Capillaries pervade human physiology. The mean intercapillary distance is only about 100 μm in human tissue, which indicates the extent of nutrient diffusion. In engineered tissue the lack of capillaries, along with the associated perfusion, is problematic because it leads to hypoxic stress and necrosis. However, a capillary is not easy to engineer due to its complex cytoarchitecture. Here, it ...
متن کاملMechanics of Blood Flow in Capillaries
Blood is a concentrated suspension of red blood cells (RBCs). Motion and deformation of RBCs can be analyzed based on knowledge of their mechanical characteristics. Models for single-file motion of RBCs in capillaries yield predictions of apparent viscosity in good agreement with experimental results for diameters up to about 8 μm. In living microvessels, flow resistance is also strongly influe...
متن کاملMathematical Analysis of MHD Flow of Blood in Very Narrow Capillaries (RESEARCH NOTE)
A mathematical model for blood flow in narrow capillaries under the effect of transverse magnetic field has been investigated. It is assumed that there is a lubricating layer between red blood cells and tube wall. The transient flow of the fit red blood cell surrounded by plasma annulus in the narrow capillary is considered. The analysis of fluid flow between red cell and tube wall, when the ce...
متن کاملA new model for blood flow in capillaries
Blood circulation in small vessels has been the subject of a very large literature, starting with the fundamental studies by Poiseuille [15], followed by Murray [13], Landis [9], F̊ahraeus [2], F̊ahraeus -Lindqvist [3], Krogh [8] and others. Very soon it was clear that blood rheology is very sensitive to the size of the vessel, exhibiting some counter-intuitive behavior when the vessel diameter r...
متن کاملCharacterization of Blood Flow in Capillaries by Numerical Simulation
This paper presents a numerical investigation of the axisymmetric, pressure driven motion of single file erythrocyte (i.e., red blood cell) suspensions flowing in capillaries of diameter 8-11 μm. Our study successfully recreates several important in vivo hemodynamic and hemorheological properties of microscopic blood flow, such as parachute shape of the cells, blunt velocity profile, and the Fa...
