Figure 6.

Occasional deviation of simulation data from the empirical model [51] due to the asymmetry of haematocrit profile in the parent branch. (a,b) Two exemplar divergent bifurcations for which the simulation data (square/circle symbols) deviate from PSM predictions (solid lines). (c,d) Visualization of the flow streamlines separated into the child branches on the mid-plane of the bifurcation (extracted from the 3D simulation). The blue dashed line indicates the location of the separation surface. (e,f) Cross-sectional haematocrit profile in the parent branch, at a position marked by the red solid line in (c,d). The blue dashed line corresponds to the separation surface of flow streamlines as in (c,d). The insets of (e,f) show the cumulative haematocrit distribution corresponding to the haematocrit profile.
