Figure 5.

Values of the function Z defined in Eq. (18) as a function of the axial position x and the rate of oxygen consumption M₀. The computations were done in the cortex geometry. The shaded area shows hypoxic cases (Po₂ < 2 mmHg). The highest contour value is 6.0. Top: μ_LD = 0.35, v_RBC = 1.2 mm/s. Middle: μ_LD = 0.2, v_RBC = 2.0 mm/s. Bottom: μ_LD = 0.5, v_RBC = 0.6 mm/s.
