title = "Slow blood flow in narrow tubes; effects of aggregation asymmetry and sedimentation",
abstract = "When blood flows slowly in narrow tubes, low shear stresses permit formation of red cell aggregates. Aggregation can strongly influence flow characteristics such as velocity and concentration profiles, resistance to flow, and relative velocities of red blood cells and plasma. Red cells are denser than plasma, and effects of gravitational sedimentation of red-cell aggregates can be significant at low flow rates. This paper presents a review of several theoretical models for these phenomena.",
