Platelet dynamics in whole blood and interpreting the interfacial stress rheometer
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Complex interfaces have an important and sometimes subtle role to play in a number of fluid mechanical contexts, and this thesis is an investigation of two such situations. In the first case, an investigation of particle migration in blood flow, the complex interface is the red blood cell membrane, which has an important effect on both bulk flow properties as well as particle dynamics within blood vessels. The second case focuses on the direct measurement of complex interfacial properties using the interfacial stress rheometer, or ISR.
