Abstract: | The two-dimensional motion of the blood in a capillary cell is considered, i.e., the calculations take into account not only the main capillaries running along the muscle fibers but also the transverse interconnections [1, 3, 4, 6] for the purpose of estimating their effect on the nonuniformity of the velocity distribution within the cell and on its total hydrodynamic resistance.N. S. Utushkin and V. A. Egorov also participated in this research.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 5, pp. 94–100, September–October, 1989. |
