An analytical model for solute transport from blood to tissue
For narrow tubes, red blood cells concentrate in the core region, leaving an annular zone called cell-free layer. This has an impact on both the tube hematocrit level (Fåhraeus effect) and the apparent blood viscosity (Fåhraeus–Lindqvist effect). Blood flow, mass transfer across the microvessel memb...
