An empirical constitutive equation for anti-coagulated human blood
A constitutive equation for whole human blood was developed using a power law functional form. This power law equation contains two parameters, the consistency index and the non-Newtonian index for the fluid. Viscometric data, utilizing a cone and plate viscometer, were obtained from anticoagulated …
