Blood flow characteristics for different tube diameters and Ht values employing “repulsion” EV interactions. Ht is the tube hematocrit, D is the tube diameter, is the mean flow velocity, γ̄ is the mean shear rate, ΔP/L is the pressure gradient, vc is the centerline flow velocity, and vp is the corresponding centerline velocity of the Newtonian plasma in the absence of cells.
