Abstract
Velocity profiles and capillary volumetric flow were deduced from Navier-Stokes-equation accounting the non-Newtonian blood viscosity and its hematocrit dependence. Special attention was paled to the influence of the radial hematocrit distribution on radial flow pattern and the axial pressure drop.
