Abstract
We construct a theoretical framework to understand the crack density of bloodstains by modeling whole blood as a suspension of binary size colloid particles. Our analysis based upon theories of soft capillarity and porous flows explains the observed increase of the crack density with increase of blood viscosity and decrease of environmental humidity. The results have direct implications on forensic science and medical diagnosis.
