초록본문(Abstract) This project addresses blood flow in the systemic microcirculation, which is formed by networks of small capillaries having diameters comparable in size to the blood cells passing through them. Building on the work of Pop et al. (2007, Math. Med. Biol. 24, 379-400), we solve sets of coupled nonlinear one-dimensional PDEs to describe unsteady blood flow in networks with multiple nodes. The model incorporates empirical descriptions of blood rheology in capillaries, particularly the Fahraeus effect, the Fahraeus-Lidqvist effect and the phase-separation effect. The coupled advection-diffusion equations are solved using finite-difference-based numerical methods and demonstrate the long-lived transient response of the flow through the network to inlet perturbations.
