Figure 5
Benchmarks of viscosity models and flow medium effects. (A) Relationship between bulk shear rate γ0 and viscosity for the different viscosity models. Note that the viscosity for most models first decreases then approaches to constant 0.00345 Pa s at γ0 > 500 s−1. (B) Relationship between peak shear rate and viscosity for water (blue), Newtonian blood (red) and non-Newtonian blood (green). The peak shear rates γmax are indifferent for all cases.
