Mathematical derivation of the power law describing polymer flow through a thin slab
A mathematical model for a problem of blood perfusion in a living tissue through a system of parallel capillaries is studied. Oxygen is assumed to be transported in two forms: freely diffusing and bounded (to erytrocytes in blood, to myoglobin in tissue). Existence of a weak solution is proved and a homogensation procedure is carried out in the case of randomly distribuited capillaries.
