Blood viscosity is a measurement of the thickness and stickiness of an individual's blood. It is a direct measure of the ability of blood to flow through the blood vessels.

Blood measurement determines how much friction the blood causes against the vessels, how hard the heart has to work to pump the blood through the body, and how much oxygen is delivered to organs and tissues.

As blood is a colloidal solution, and i see you want to see the effect of varying solute(glucose) concentration on viscosity of fluid.

It has been found that the expression very closely the relation between the volume of the solute and the viscosity of the solution. The formula has been applied to a number of experimental results and found to hold very well for as high concentrations as 50 per cent solutions of such substances as sugars, glycogen, casein, and rubber. In the case of various sugar solutions, and also in the case of sulfur suspensions, the volume of the solute as calculated from the viscosity values agrees with the actual volume of the substance in dry state, as determined from specific gravity measurement, while in the case of caoutchouc solutions in benzene the values of ¢ as calculated from the viscosity measurements fit remarkablywell in the equation for osmotic pressure.

where volume of solute in cc. per 100 cc. of solution.

i do suggest you to read this paper http://jgp.rupress.org/content/jgp/9/6/715.full.pdf

hope i have been a help, all the best! :)

A fluid with constant viscosity and density flows in radial direction from R1 radius surface to R2 radius surface in the annular region, which consists of porous horizontal cylinders with coaxial R2 (outer) and R1 (inner) radii. (V = V (r)). Make your simplifications using the continuity equation and motion equations by specifying your required assumptions. Since the fluid is incompressible and is in laminar flow, obtain the steady pressure profile P(r) in terms of velocity in the outer radius...
