Abstract: Experiments were performed to study the rheological response of human blood at hematocrit ratios of 0 to 0.45 in axial oscillatory flow in a tube of uniform bore. Three principal regimes of flow were identified, depending on the amplitude of oscillation. At the highest amplitudes (and therefore the largest range of shear rates in the blood) there was turbulent motion and the friction coefficient increased in proportion to the square of the hematocrit. At small amplitudes the friction decreased with increase in amplitude, the rate of decrease increasing with hematocrit. At intermediate amplitudes the friction increased in proportion to the square of the hematocrit. Glutaraldehyde fixation of the red cells caused increase in the friction, and reduced the rate of decrease of friction with amplitude at small amplitudes. With a stenosis of very modest degree and span the friction in normal blood increased disproportionately, and a small blind hole in the lumen of the stenosis caused additional and disproportionate increase in friction.
