摘要: We propose a design principle that extends Murray's original optimization for vascular architecture to account complex blood rheology. Minimization of an energy dissipation function enables us determine how rheology affects the morphology simple branching networks. The behavior various physical quantities associated with networks, such as wall shear stress and flow velocity, is also determined. Our results are shown be qualitatively quantitatively compatible independent experimental observations simulations.
