An Equation for the Flow of Blood, Plasma and Serum through Glass Capillaries

An implicit rheological model for numerical simulation of generalized Newtonian fluids

“…HerschelBulkley model by Herschel and Bulkley (1926) uses a three constant explicit equation to describe the nonlinearity of a fluid with plastic behavior. Casson model was used by Blair (1959) to describe the rheological behavior of many fluids in food industry, blood and biological fluids. Comprehensive reviews on rheological models were presented by Bird (1987) and Macosko (1994).…”

Analytical Solution of MHD Stagnation-Point Flow and Heat Transfer of Casson Fluid over a Stretching Sheet with Partial Slip

“…Casson's constitutive equations are found to describe accurately the flow curves of suspensions of pigments in lithographic varnishes used for preparation of printing inks and silicon suspensions [17]. Various experiments performed on blood with varying haematocrits, anticoagulants, temperatures, and so forth strongly suggest the behavior of blood as a casson fluid [18][19][20]. In particular, casson fluid model describes the flow characteristics of blood more accurately at low shear rates and when it flows through small vessels [21].…”

A Study on Solute Dispersion in a Three Layer Blood-like Liquid Flowing through a Rigid Artery

“…Experimental studies on blood (Scott Blair [14], Charm and Kurland [15]) with the variety of haematocrits, anticoagulants, temperature and so on and recommended that the behaviour of blood at low shear rate can be described sufficiently by the Casson model. In particular, when blood flows through small blood vessels, the presence of a peripheral layer of plasma (Newtonian liquid) and a core region of suspension of all the erythrocytes as a non-Newtinian liquid can be seen, which was experimentally shown by Bugliarello and Sevilla [16] and Cokelet [17].…”
