Abstract Background So far none of the existing methods on Murray s law deal with the non-Newtonian behavior of blood flow although the non-Newtonian approach for blood flow modelling looks more accurate. Modeling In the present paper Murray s law which is applicable to an arterial bifurcation is generalized to a non-Newtonian blood flow model power-law model . When the vessel size reaches the capillary limitation blood can be modeled using a non-Newtonian constitutive equation. It is assumed two different constraints in addition to the pumping power the volume constraint or the surface constraint related to the internal surface of the vessel . For a seek of generality the relationships are given for an arbitrary number of daughter vessels. It is shown that for a cost function including the .
