Lipid packing in cellular membranes has a direct effect on membrane tension and
microviscosity, and plays a central role in cellular adaptation, homeostasis and disease …

A numerical study of the effects of the shape of an enclosed screw conveyor on the mixing
and heat transfer in a horizontal gas–solid fluidized bed was conducted using computational …

In this work, a dynamic-Immersed–Boundary method combined with a BGK-Lattice–
Boltzmann technique is developed and critically discussed. The fluid evolution is obtained …

Dielectrophoresis in microfluidics provides a useful tool to test biomechanics of living cells,
regardless of surface charges on cell membranes. We have designed an experimental …

Modeling the transport of deformable capsules under different flow regimens is crucial in a
variety of fields, including oil rheology, blood flow and the dispersion of pollutants. The aim …

We present a comprehensive theoretical-experimental framework for quantitative, high-
throughput study of cell biomechanics. An improved electrodeformation method has been …

In vascular targeted therapies, blood-borne carriers should realize sustained drug release
from the luminal side towards the diseased tissue. In this context, such carriers are required …

ABSTRACT A 3-D simulation of red blood cells (RBCs) described as deformable cells in
plasma flow is an indispensable element of blood flow analysis in the human vessels. To …

Unequal RBC partitioning at arteriolar bifurcations contributes to dissimilar flow
developments between daughter vessels in a bifurcation. Due to the importance of the cell …

In this paper, the dynamic of inertial capsules into microfluidic bifurcations is studied. The
fluid evolution is based on the solution of the BGK–lattice Boltzmann scheme including a …
