Viscoelastic capillary flow: the case of whole blood

Viscoelastic capillary flow: the case of whole blood

The dynamics of spontaneous capillary flow of Newtonian fluids is well-known and can be predicted by the Lucas-Washburn-Rideal (LWR) law. However a wide variety of viscoelastic fluids such as alginate, xanthan and blood, does not exhibit the same Newtonian behavior.<br />In this work we consid...
