This work describes simulations of a red blood cell (RBC) in simple shear flow, focusing on
the dependence of the cell dynamics on the spontaneous curvature of the membrane. The …

In red blood cell (RBC) disorders, such as sickle cell disease, hereditary spherocytosis, and
diabetes, alterations to the size and shape of RBCs due to either mutations of RBC proteins …

Controlling microrobot locomotion in vessels and capillaries is crucial for precise drug
delivery and minimally invasive surgeries. However, this is challenging due to the complex …

Deformable elastic bodies in viscous and viscoelastic media constitute a large portion of
synthetic and biological complex fluids. We present a parallelized three-dimensional …

Shear-induced self-diffusion is a fundamental mode of transport in granular flows. Yet its
critical behaviour and dependence on the particle solid fraction are still unclear. Here, we …

In the past decade, numerical methods for the computational biomechanics of blood flow
have progressed to overcome difficulties in diverse applications from cellular to organ …

Hydrodynamic interactions generate a diffusive motion in particulates in a shear flow, which
plays seminal roles in overall particulate rheology and its microstructure. Here we …

A three-dimensional deformable capsule convected through a square duct with a corner is
studied via numerical simulations. We develop an accelerated boundary integral …

An exact pairwise hydrodynamic theory is developed for the flow-induced spatial distribution
of particles in dilute polydisperse suspensions undergoing two-dimensional unidirectional …

We study the three-dimensional hydrodynamic interaction of a pair of identical, initially
spherical capsules freely suspended in a simple shear flow under Stokes flow conditions …
