This thesis concerns hemodynamics in the microcirculation. More specifically, it studies the effect of the hematocrit, vessel diameter and shear-rate on the relative apparent viscosity and velocity profile of blood and on the thickness of the cell-free layer in straight microvessels. In this regard,...
