Figure 19

Distribution of WSS at (A) a venular convergence where a capillary vessel (D = 6 μm) merges with a larger diameter vessel (D = 11 μm), and (B) a convergence where two capillary vessels merge (D = 6 μm). Shown here are WSS with and without RBCs, their ratio, and a snapshot showing RBC flow dynamics (A only). Also shown for (B) are the hematocrit and velocity profiles in the presence of RBCs at the cross‐section A–B.
