The viscosity of blood is an indicator in the understanding and treatment of disease. An
elevated blood viscosity has been demonstrated in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus …

During the multistep process of metastasis, cancer cells encounter various mechanical
forces which make them deform drastically. Develo** accurate in-silico models, capable of …

Normal red blood cells (RBCs) have remarkable properties of deformability, which enable
them to squeeze through tiny splenic inter-endothelial slits (IESs) without any damage …

Mechanical characterization of suspended cells by constriction-based microfluidic devices
has currently various limitations related to the available analysis models. In this work, we …

In this paper, we propose a multiscale numerical algorithm to simulate the hemolytic release
of hemoglobin (Hb) from red blood cells (RBCs) flowing through sieves containing …

Two-phase flows are found in several industrial systems/applications, including boilers and
condensers, which are used in power generation or refrigeration, steam generators, oil/gas …

We develop an immersed meshfree method under a variational multiscale framework for
modeling fluid–structure interactive systems involving shock waves. The proposed method …

The study of viscous fluid flow coupled with rigid or deformable solids has many applications
