“…As reviewed previously, this is due to the presence of deformable blood borne cells (Secomb & Pries,
2013). The relationship between vessel diameter ( d ) and viscosity (η) has previously been described (Hirunpattarasilp et al.,
2022) in the diameter range between 3 and 8 μm as being given by
, where A and n are constants, with n = 1.647 giving a reasonable fit to experimental data (for a blood haematocrit of 0.45).…”
