In some medical applications/measurements, it is desired for safety
reasons to have a non biological fluid that has rheological properties
comparable to blood.
The objectives of the project are to develop a blood
analog, and more specifically red blood cell analog, and to create a
system to assess the suitability (from a rheological point of view) of the
blood analog.
