Particle-based methods such as smoothed particle hydrodynamics and dissipative particle
dynamics are apt for simulating particle-like suspensions in blood. The blood flow through …

Despite the relevant regulatory role that nuclear deformation plays in cell behaviour, a
thorough understanding of how fluid flow modulates the deformation of the cell nucleus in …

The red blood cell (RBC) membrane is composed of a lipid bilayer and a cytoskeleton
interconnected by protein junction complexes, allowing for potential sliding between the lipid …

A three-dimensional isogeometric coupled boundary element and finite element approach
based on analysis suitable T-splines is developed for the simulation of deformable capsules …

This thesis concerns development of mechanically realistic in silico representations of
human blood cells using coarse-grained molecular dynamics (CGMD), ultimately building a …

In this Thesis an efficient and robust numerical model for the analysis of fluid dynamic
problems has been developed, validated and applied to two novel fluid flow …

In the last decades the use of the Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) has experienced a fast grown
in the engineering analysis field. The concept of IGA was originally introduced by Hughes et …
