1D simulations of shear-thinning fluids with applications to blood flow

In this talk, we consider blood in small vessels modeled as an incompressible shear-thinning fluid in a straight rigid and impermeable tube with circular cross-section. The full 3D unsteady model is simplified using a one-dimensional hierarchical approach based on the Cosserat theory related to flui...
