Dependence of cell-free-layer width on rheological parameters: Combining empirical data on flow separation at microvascular bifurcations with geometrical considerations
When blood flows through vessel networks, red blood cells (RBCs) are typically concentrated close to the vessel center line, creating a lubrication layer near the vessel wall. As RBCs bind oxygen, the width of this cell-free layer (CFL) impacts not only the blood rheology inside the vasculature, but...
