Fig 6. Effect of bifurcation angle on particle recovery efficiency.
(a) A sketch of the microvascular bifurcation model by changing the bifurcation angle θ. In this model, the diameter of the parent branch is 20.0 μm, and the diameters of two daughter branches are both 16.5 μm. The average velocity of blood flow in parent branch is about 0.12 mm/s. (b) Relationship between the particle recovery efficiency and bifurcation angle.
