Rheology of thrombotic processes in flow: The interaction of erythrocytes and thrombocytes subjected to high flow forces1

Abstract

Abnormally high shear stresses (Tw > 50–200 Pal are known to occur under exceptional conditions in vivo (e.g. during the formation of a hemostatic plug in a rapidly perfused artery after it has been cut). Likewise, blood flow over a stenosis and b
