Abstract

Blood flow Equations Geometry Mathematical model Oxygen Plasma simulation Plasma sources Power engineering and energy Solid modeling Steady-state
Nitric oxide (NO) is a powerful vasodilator that regulates blood flow and inhibits mitochondrial oxygen (O/sub 2/) consumption. We present a mathematical model to show the effects NO has on the regulation of oxygen consumption in the microcirculation. We use expressions based on experimental data to simulate the steady state coupled mass transport of O/sub 2/ and NO through blood vessels, the vascular wall, and tissue. Our preliminary modeling studies, using a cylindrical geometry, show that the inhibition of O/sub 2/ consumption by NO increases tissue PO/sub 2/ farther from the vessel, The effect is more pronounced at lower PO/sub 2/ values.
