Abstract
In this chapter, empirical as well numerical studies have been conducted to understand the influence of a ball’s situation and slant angle of the capillary upon blood viscosity. It has been evident that blood acts more pronouncedly as a non-Newtonian fluid, especially when hematocrit constituent of the blood is taken into account.
