Abstract

The calculative method presented in this paper is based on an improvement of boundary conditions for a micro-continuum fluid model with blood flow assuming that the blood cell velocity at blood vessel wall is unequal to zero. As for steady state flood flow equation (flow in vitre—a rigid circular tube) presented by Eringen, the magnitude of the blood cell gyroscopic velocity at blood vessel wall and the slope of the blood cell gyroscopic velocity distribution curve at the axis of the blood vessel are assumed. From the above mentioned assumptions the calculating method of velocity distribution curve in blood vessel is derived. The curve calculated by this method is compared with the test curve measured by Bugliarello and Hayden. The results obtained by Turk, Sylvester and Ariman as well as with this method are compared with each other, too.
