Abstract

This paper numerically investigates non-Newtonian blood flow with oxygen and carbon dioxide transport across and along an array of uniformly square and staggered arranged fibres at various porosity (e) levels, focussing on a low Reynolds number regime (Re < 10). The objective is to establish suit...
