Formation of a boundary layer in steady-state blood flow.
This paper is devoted to a study of boundary layer formation in the steady flow of blood through the human aorta. Blood is treated as an incompressible fluid. Consideration is given to a flat-top velocity profile which combines the potential flow with the boundary layer; expressions for the displacement thickness, skin-friction and pressure in the entry region are derived.
