A3_6 Newton's Blood

Alexia P.M. Southern, Benjamin Griffiths, Yianis Goodman, Angaraj Duara

Abstract


This paper explores the change in force required within the blood vessels of the body if blood were not a shear-thinning liquid but Newtonian or shear-thickening. We found that for a Newtonian blood, the force would need to be 5.4 times the magnitude of actual blood, and for shear-thickening it would need to be 31.4 times as great.
