摘要

A COSSERAT continuum mechanical description of blood How problem is presented and the governing field equations are derived. The developed theory is applied to the problem of steady flow of blood through a circular artery with rigid walls. An exact closed-form solution to the Hagen-Poiseuilli flow of a COSSERAT fluid in the artery is obtained. Ultimately, the Levenberg's numerical algorithm for nonlinear optimization is used to identify the material coefficients based on recent experimental data and a good agreement is established.
