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

Poly (dimethylsiloxane)(PDMS) microchannels are commonly used microfluidic structures
that have a wide variety of biological testing applications, including the simulation of blood …

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 …

The rheology of suspensions of soft particles, such as red blood cells, is a long-standing
problem in science and engineering due to the complex interplay between deformable …

Blood microcirculation critically depends on the migration of red cells towards the flow
centerline. We identify theoretically the ratio of the inner over the outer fluid viscosities λ as a …

We investigated the behavior of red blood cells (RBCs) in a microchannel with stenosis
using a confocal micro-PTV system. Individual trajectories of RBCs in a concentrated …

We present experimental, numerical, and theoretical studies of droplet flows in
hydrodynamic networks. Using both millifluidic and microfluidic devices, we study the …

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 …

Blood is a dense suspension of soft non-Brownian cells of unique importance. Physiological
blood flow involves complex interactions of blood cells with each other and with the …

Blood flow behaves differently at the microvascular level than they do at upper levels of
circulating systems. The endothelial glycocalyx layer on the luminal surface of blood vessels …
