Measurement of wall shear stress in blood vessels.

(a) Velocity vector fields in artery 1 (A1) at phase angles of 1, 4, 7 and 10 were overlaid with SD map. Each cardiac cycle was divided into 10 phases. (b) Temporal variation of Space-averaged RBC mean velocity (V_SPACE). (c) Space-averaged RBC mean velocity (V_SPACE) were averaged again in phase.(d) Velocity profiles at phases 1, 4 and 7. Red square dots: velocity magnitude of RBCs at the edge of RBC-rich region; blue dots: RBC velocity measured by μ-PIV technique; green dots: inner wall of blood vessel; blue dashed lines: fitting curve; red lines: velocity profile of plasma in CFL.
