Abstract
A method for determining the viscosity of a fluid flowing through a system at any point in the system whereby the method involves determining a characteristic relationship for the fluid between viscosity and shear rate; obtaining a shear rate of the fluid as it moves through at least one position in the system; and determining the viscosity of fluid at the at least one position by applying the shear rate to the characteristic relationship. Where the system is the circulatory system of a living being, the method includes determining a viscosity-shear rate relationship unique to that individual. Furthermore, the method further entails determining the actual viscosities and shear rates being experienced in selected blood vessels of the living being.
