Transient hemorheology in an air-bearing viscosimeter
Abstract:
Blood suspensions have been studied by using an air-bearing viscosimeter which is driven by a rotating magnetic induction. Each transient motion (rise, relaxation with zero or intermittent field) can be considered as a quasi-static motion, from which the curve viscosity-shear gradient can be obtained. Combining several transient motions allows an easier determination of the parameters describing a non newtonian fluid like blood.
