Platelet deposition in resting blood is well researched and understood. However, the influence of hemodynamic parameters such as wall shear rate is less clear. Clinical experience and experiments show an interaction between flow and platelet deposition. But a complete understanding of the flow influence and hence a quantification has not yet been achieved. A well defined experiment of flow dependant platelet depositions is the stagnation point flow. This kind of flow is ubiquitous in the circulatory system, to be found in every bifurcation and recirculation region. These are the areas where thrombus formations are likely to occur if other conditions are also met. First, experiments were performed in a stagnation point flow chamber. A simplified blood model, platelet rich plasma, was used as a test fluid. With a microscope the platelet deposition was observed and recorded. Platelets deposit in a characteristic pattern showing the influence of the flow. An analysis of this pattern is the objective of this study and is achieved with the help of a numerical model, which is based on a convective diffusive transport. The model results in a platelet deposition pattern, which in its shape and temporal development is very similar to experimental results. Hence it is concluded that the assumed transport processes are causal for platelet depositions and thrombus formation.
