Does one first focus in the fact that decrease in diameter will result in increase in blood flow velocity hence increase in reynolds no? Or in the fact that the value of Reynolds number is directly proportional to diameter of vessel.. Hence a decrease in diameter will result in decrease in reynolds no?
Michael Beauford
The relationship between Reynolds Number and vessel diameter is about naturally smaller vessels and how smaller diameter affects hemodynamics. If the natural caliber of the vessel is significantly decreased by a stenosis, then post stenotic turbulence is expected and an increased RN.
