摘要

This paper presents a comparison between existing models for non-Newtonian fluid viscosity as a function of shear rate variations. A novel model is introduced whose parameters are linked to physiological phenomena in the blood. The end use of such models is to predict changes in viscosity to adapt the speed of a nanorobot device for targeted drug delivery purposes. Simulation results show the agreement between the proposed model and available models from literature. A laboratory scale validation of the proposed model for a fluid mimicking non-Newtonian properties has been performed. Conceptual perspectives are also given in this work.
