The hematocrit HtR is 0.30. The open circles denote the plasma layer thickness ht=4.7μm, and the filled circles denote ht=2.4μm. The solid line is obtained by Pries’ model, and the dotted line denotes the condition whereby N1R∕NpR is equal to Q1∕Qp.

The hematocrit HtR is 0.15, and the volume fraction of LEH HtL is 0.15. The upper figure shows that the plasma layer thickness in the parent vessel ht is 2.4μm, and the lower figure shows that ht is 4.7μm. The filled triangles and open triangles denote N1R∕NpR and N1L∕NpL, respectively. The crosses denote N1R∕NpR of hemodilution without LEH (HtR=0.15, HtL=0).
