Definition of an experimental blood like fluid for laser measurements in cardiovascular studies.

Nowadays it is necessary to perform experimental measurements to compare with numerical calculations. In this study we
focus on different aqueous solutions which are tested to obtain in the same time a rheological blood like fluid and particular
optical properties for laser measurements (particle image velocimetry (PIV) or laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV)). Using viscometric
tests we show that the non Newtonian behavior of blood is reached by adding xanthan gum in aqueous glycerol
and aqueous potassium thiocyanate solutions. Optical properties are directly achieved by modifying glycerol or thiocyanate
potassium concentrations. Indeed we proove using refractometric measurements that the addition of xanthan gum does not
affect the value of the refractive indexes. Finally,we can prepare an optical blood like fluid adapted to cardiovascular studies
by adjusting the proportion of the different components.
