Key result
Polymer solution models may explain viscoelastic and thixotropic phenomena in blood during transient and periodic flow.
Why the study?
Models used for polymer solutions may better account for observed blood viscoelasticity and thixotropy phenomena such as transient and periodic flow.
Proposes the use of polymer solution models to better understand the viscoelastic and thixotropic properties of human blood.
Polymer models may describe blood viscoelasticity; leaves open validation for clinical hemodynamics.
From an analysis of the researches works published on blood viscoelasticity and thixotropy, the authors suggest applying the models used for polymer solutions, in order to account for the phenomena observed with blood (transient and periodic flow). T
