APPENDIX A: Optimization for Narrow Blood Vessels These derivations are included as “guideposts” to other researchers, as details of the derivations are not always clearly or succinctly explained in the literature. Appendices A through C primarily follow the methodology of Savage et al. (2008), as they include details omitted in the overview provided by WBE. For a fluid with viscosity μ the Hagen-Poiseuille formula gives the hydrodynamic resistance R to laminar, steady fluid flow in a short pipe of length l and radius r. One may derive the Hagen-Poiseuille expression by solving the Navier-Stokes equation (in cylindrical coordinates r, z, and ϕ) for steady-state (no time dependence, and no z-dependence of velocity upon position) laminar flow of an incompressible fluid in a short, azimuthally symmetric pipe. The fluid undergoes motion in only the z-direction and is subject to the boundary condition that fluid velocity at the pipe wall (r R) is zero. Solving this equation in cylindrical coordinates yields an expression for Δ in terms of current velocity ( ) in the z-direction. Averaging this over the cross-sectional area of the pipe yields an expression for the volume current flow Q ̇ : (A1) Physicists and electrical engineers will note the similarity between Eq. (A1) and the equation ΔV IR. Hence the expression for the hydrodynamic resistance R is (A2) For a hierarchical fluid distribution network with N + 1 levels of HEBERT Allometric and metabolic scaling 2023 ICC 223
