Abstract

Nevertheless, some assumptions may cause invalid or inaccurate results. supported a worldwide sensitivity analysis, this work shows which fluid mechanical assumptions are incorrect and will be avoided. Moreover, positive effects supported accurate rheological modelling of the fluid properties are shown, and therefore the factors with a decisive influence on the computed conductivity change of flowing blood are illustrated.

Conclusions

The study showed the way to reduce the uncertainty of electrical conductivity of flowing blood and analysed the impact of various model assumptions on such blood property. The conductivity model described in Section 2.1 is including three different hydraulics model assumptions, namely Newtonian fluid and steady flow, Newtonian fluid and harmonically pulsating flow, non- Newtonian fluid and harmonically pulsating flow.
