Blood rheology is a challenging subject owing to the fact that blood mixture of fluid (plasma) and cells, among which red cells make about 50% total volume. It precisely this circumstance originates peculiar behavior flow in small vessels (i.e., roughly speaking, vessel with diameter less than half millimeter). In class we find arterioles, venules, capillaries. The phenomena taking place microc...

researchers write. So, during the dry season, the entire population is represented by developing eggs that incubate for 8–9 months, before hatching synchronously at the beginning of the following rainy season. “Remarkably, this chameleon spends more of its short annual life cycle inside the egg than outside it,” they report. The authors reviewed data on the life cycle of more than 1,700 tetrapo...

Interfacial rheological properties have yet to be thoroughly explored. Only recently, methods have been introduced that provide sufficient sensitivity to reliably determine viscoelastic interfacial properties. In general, interfacial rheology describes the relationship between the deformation of an interface and the stresses exerted on it. Due to the variety in deformations of the interfacial l...

Blood is a dense suspension of soft non-Brownian cells of unique importance. Physiological blood flow involves complex interactions of blood cells with each other and with the environment due to the combined effects of varying cell concentration, cell morphology, cell rheology, and confinement. We analyze these interactions using computational morphological image analysis and machine learning a...

In this paper hemodynamic wall parameters which play an important role to diagnose arterial disease were studied and compared for three different rheology models (Newtonian, Power law and Quemada). Also because of the pulsatile behavior of blood flow the results were obtained for three Womersley numbers which represent the frequencies of the applied pulses. Results show that Quemada model alway...
