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 …

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 …

Mesoscale simulations of blood flow, where the red blood cells are described as deformable
closed shells with a membrane characterized by bending rigidity and stretching elasticity …

Microvascular blood flow resistance has a strong impact on cardiovascular function and
tissue perfusion. The flow resistance in microcirculation is governed by flow behavior of …

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 shape changes and clustering of red blood cells (RBCs) under flow in cylindrical
microcapillaries are studied using a triangulated surface model for the membrane and a …

Velocity-dependent flow of human red blood cells in capillaries with inside diameters of 4 to
8 μm is described theoretically. Cells are assumed to flow in single file, with axisymmetric …

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 …

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