On the Modeling of the Synovial Fluid

Figure 1

Relative viscosity against shear rate for different concentrations. Graphs of the relative viscosity for all the models show the fitted curves and the experimental data (points) which were taken for the fitting procedure. Here we use the notation from Ogston and Stanier [1] for 𝜇_rel=𝜇/𝜇_ref, where 𝜇_ref is defined by the viscosity of the glycerol solution.
