The effect of channel height on leukocyte adhesion to a lower plate in a parallel-plate flow
chamber is studied by direct numerical simulations in three dimensions. The numerical …

Significant internal structural changes occur in flowing blood when shear strain exceeds the
critical value of 1 (unit strain), forcing alignment of the erythrocytes and releasing trapped …

The effects of flow and particle properties on margination of particles in red blood cell (RBC)
suspensions is investigated using direct numerical simulation (DNS) of cellar blood flow. We …

The membrane of the red blood cell RBC is easily deformed by shearing forces while
maintaining its local area nearly unchanged. This type of response is due to the structure of …

The physiological inflammation response depends upon the multibody interactions of blood
cells in the microcirculation that bring leukocytes (white blood cells) to the vessel walls. We …

The red blood cell (RBC) is an important determinant of the rheological properties of blood
because of its predominant number density, special mechanical properties and dynamics …

We simulate the cross-flow migration of rigid particles such as platelets in a red blood cell
(RBC) suspension using the Stokes flow boundary integral equation method. Two types of …

In capillaries white blood cells tend to flow with a lower velocity than red blood cells. This is
due to the larger volume of the white cells and their spherical shape as compared to that of …

Objective: A theoretical model is used to examine the mechanics of red blood cell (RBC)
motion in nonuniform capillaries. The model includes effects of the endothelial surface layer …

The binding of circulating cells to the vascular wall is a central process in inflammation,
metastasis, and therapeutic cell delivery. Previous in vitro studies have identified the …
