- Table 1 indicates how perturbations of the coagulation system alter its behavior (length of coagulation onset) under flow conditions. Two coefficients represent two different types of flow induced influence on this system (see Methods).
shows whether system is suppressed by flow (within range of flow rates from i s-1 up to j s-1) better or worth than in normal case ( > 1 or < 1). Each set of simulation results was approximated, where it was possible, with exponential function of the following type: y = y0 + A·eR·x. Parameter R' shows whether system became more sensitive to flow rate variation than in normal case (R' > 1 or R' < 1). - 1 Coefficient calculated relatively to normal case (1000 um activator length)
- 2 Coefficient calculated relatively to normal case (500 um activator length)
