Abstract
Our investigation shows significant differences (up to 50%) between the simulation output of Newtonian and non-Newtonian models. The differences are attributed to the coupling that exists between low and high shear rate areas in the flow. They show the significance of non-Newtonian blood rheology and motivate further work towards an even more accurate modeling of the thixoropic and three-dimensional characteristics of the blood flow rheology that go beyond the Casson model utilized in the present work.
