Figure 3
Fan charts summarizing all measured \({H}^{*}\) profiles (i.e. for all Q*) for healthy (blue) and hardened (orange) RBC suspensions in selected regions upstream, around and downstream of the bifurcation (see Fig. 1). (a) and (d) show profiles extracted from the parent branch (ROI and \({x}^{*}=0.19\) respectively). (b) and (e) profiles in the daughter branch (\({z}^{*}=0\) and ROI respectively); (c) and (f) show profiles derived in the outlet branch (\({x}^{*}=1.63\) and ROI respectively). The black lines indicate the mean value of the measurements and the shaded bands distribution percentiles. \({y}^{*}\) indicates the transverse coordinate in the parent and outlet branch normalised by the channel width and \({s}^{*}\) the corresponding transverse coordinate in the daughter branch.
