Concentrated erythrocyte (ie, red blood cell) suspensions flowing in microchannels have
been simulated with an immersed-boundary lattice Boltzmann algorithm, to examine the cell …

Abstract An Immersed Boundary method is developed in which the fluid's motion is
calculated using the lattice Boltzmann method. The method is applied to explore the …

In this paper we develop a lattice Boltzmann algorithm to simulate red blood cell (RBC)
behavior in shear flows. The immersed boundary method is employed to incorporate the …

The inhomogeneous concentration distribution of erythrocytes and platelets in microchannel
flows particularly in directions normal to the mean flow plays a significant role in hemostasis …

The concentration of platelets near the blood vessel wall is important because platelets
survey the condition of the vessel wall and respond to injuries to it. Under arterial flow …

Three-dimensional (3D) computational modeling and simulation are presented on the
motion of a large number of deformable cells in microchannels. The methodology is based …

Historically, predicting macroscopic blood flow characteristics such as viscosity has been an
empirical process due to the difficulty in rigorously including the particulate nature of blood …

A three-dimensional numerical model is proposed to simulate the dynamic motion of red
blood cells (RBCs) in simple shear flow. The RBCs are approximated by ghost cells …

Efficient flow of red blood cells (RBCs) and white blood cells (WBCs) through the
microcirculation is necessary for oxygen and nutrient delivery as well as immune cell …

In this paper, we develop an immersed boundary lattice Boltzmann approach to simulate
deformable capsules in flows. The lattice Boltzmann method is utilized to solve the …
