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 …

Many diseases are a result of, or are associated with, abnormal blood flow. Usually, these
abnormalities are caused by unhealthy red blood cells with modified shape which have …

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 …

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 …

Red blood cells (RBCs) are an essential component of blood. A method to include the
particulate nature of blood is introduced here with the goal of studying circulation in large …

A hemodynamics analysis approach that combines the level-set method for medical imaging
processing and the Lattice Boltzmann method for flow simulation with patient-specific …

While blood at the macroscopic scale is frequently treated as a continuum by techniques
such as computational fluid dynamics, its mesoscale behaviour is not so well investigated or …

To model red blood cell (RBC) deformation and multiple‐cell interactions in flow, the
recently developed technique derived from the lattice Boltzmann method and the distributed …

Numerical modelling is a powerful tool for the investigation of human blood flow and arterial
diseases such as atherosclerosis. It is known that near wall shear is important in the …

In this paper we describe an extension of the lattice Boltzmann method to simulate blood
clotting based on a simple residence time model. Simulation results of a stenosed model …
