| | Blood vessel system has attracted attention as a typical biological complex adaptive system. In this research, we investigate the properties of blood flow in fractal structure of retinal blood vessel systems modeled by diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA). It is found that there is a difference in the properties of blood flows between arterial and venous vessel systems, which originates from the fractal properties of their structures. This fact suggests that the difference in fractal structures between arterial and venous vessel systems should have something essential to do with the circulation of blood flow |
