Vascular resistance is a fluid layer in which at a distance δ, viscosity η is a function of δ written as η(δ), and these surrounding layers do not meet at the vessel centre in real blood flow. Instead, there is the plugged flow which is hyperviscous because holding high concentration of RBCs. Thurston assembled this layer to the flow resistance to describe blood flow by means of a viscosity η(δ) and thickness δ from the wall layer. The blood resistance law appears as R adapted to blood flow profile : where Blood resistance varies depending on blood viscosity and its plugged flow
Physics of Fluids of 2.279. Physics of Fluids Physics of Fluids is a peer-reviewed monthly scientific journal on fluid dynamics, founded by the American Institute of Physics in 1958, and is published by the AIP Publishing. The journal focus is the dynamics of gases, liquids, and complex or multiphase fluids—and the journal contains original research resulting from theoretical, computational, and experimental studies. From 1958 through 1988, the journal included plasma physics. From 1989 until 1993, the journal split into "Physics of Fluids A" covering fluid dynamics, and "Physics of Fluids B," on plasma physics. In 1994, the latter was renamed "Physics of Plasmas",
