A large artery can have a diameter of about 0.5 cm, whereas a large vein may have a diameter of about 0.8 cm. The average blood velocity in these arteries and veins is, respectively, on the order of 40 and 20 cm sec-!. Calculate for these blood flows the wall shear rate, yw. What would the shear rate be at the centerline of these blood vessels?
