An elastic spring model is applied to simulate the skeletal structure of the red blood cell
(RBC) membrane and to study the dynamical behaviors of the red blood cell rouleaux …

In the smallest capillaries, or in tubes with diameter D≲ 8 μm, flowing red blood cells are
well known to organize into single-file trains, with each cell deformed into an approximately …

We investigate the mechanism of aggregation of red blood cells (RBC) in capillary vessels.
We use a discrete-particle model in 3D to model the flow of plasma and RBCs within a …

The aggregation of red blood cells (RBC) induced by the interactions between RBCs is a
dominant factor of the in vitro rheological properties of blood, and existing models of blood …

Computational modeling of blood flow in microvessels with internal diameter 20–500μm is a
major challenge. It is because blood in such vessels behaves as a multiphase suspension of …

Computational simulations using a two-dimensional lattice-Boltzmann immersed boundary
method were conducted to investigate the motion of platelets near a vessel wall and close to …

To quantitatively understand the correlation between the molecular structure of an
erythrocyte (red blood cell, RBC) and its mechanical response, and to predict mechanically …

In this paper, we report simulation results assessing the deformation and aggregation of
mixed healthy and malaria-infected red blood cells (RBCs) in a tube flow. A three …

Aggregation of highly deformable red blood cells (RBCs) significantly affects the blood flow
in the human circulatory system. To investigate the effect of deformation and aggregation of …

Leukocyte rolling and arrest on the vascular endothelium is a central event in normal and
pathological immune responses. However, rigorous estimation of the fluid and surface …
