Abstract

A model consisting of right circular cylinders moving through a tube is chosen to represent the flow of corpuscles through the capillaries. A numerical solution of the equations of motion enables the flow to be considered in detail. The pressure gradient-volume flux relationships are calculated for different values of the parameters of the system. Flow field diagrams and other results are presented graphically.
