Polymeric materials display distinguished characteristics which stem from the interplay of
phenomena at various length and time scales. Further development of polymer systems …

In humans and many animals, a trade-off between a sufficiently high concentration of
erythrocytes (hematocrit) to bind oxygen and sufficiently low blood viscosity to allow rapid …

Abstract Background and Objective In recent years, progress in microfabrication
technologies has attracted the attention of researchers across disciplines. Microfluidic …

Understanding molecule transport through nanochannels is fundamental to geophysics,
bioengineering, and physical chemistry. Here, molecular dynamics simulations combined …

This study proposes a numerical model for particulate three-phase flow in microchannels
based on multiphase lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). The model combines the color …

In this paper, we present a spatio-temporal mathematical model for simulating the formation
and growth of a thrombus. Blood is treated as a multi-constituent mixture comprised of a …

This study was undertaken to develop a numerical/computational simulation of von
Willebrand Factor (vWF)-mediated platelet shear activation and deposition in an idealized …

Continuous flow ventricular assist devices (cfVADs) provide a life-saving therapy for severe
heart failure. However, in recent years, the incidence of device-related thrombosis (resulting …

It has been shown that using nanofluids as heat carrier fluids enhances the conductive and
convective heat transfer of geothermal heat exchangers. In this paper, we study the stability …

This work presents a novel two-fluid method based on our recently proposed viscosity model
for red blood cells (RBCs)—for simulating three-dimensional (3D) blood flow in a …
