Modeling of heterogeneous materials and media is a problem of fundamental importance to
a wide class of phenomena and systems, ranging from condensed matter physics, soft …

The cellular detail of blood is an essential factor in its flow, especially in vessels or devices
with size comparable to that of its suspended cells. This article motivates and reviews …

In the study of fluid dynamics and transport phenomena, key quantities of interest are often
the force and torque on objects and total rate of heat/mass transfer from them …

Flowing blood displays a phenomenon called margination, in which leukocytes and platelets
are preferentially found near blood vessel walls, while erythrocytes are depleted from these …

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 …

The effects of particle size and rigidity on segregation behaviour in confined simple shear
flow of binary suspensions of fluid-filled elastic capsules are investigated in a model system …

We review recent advances in multiscale modeling of the biomechanical characteristics of
red blood cells (RBCs) in hematological diseases, and their relevance to the structure and …

A mechanistic model, derived from kinetic theory, is developed to describe segregation in
confined multicomponent suspensions such as blood. It incorporates the two key …

It has long been known that platelets undergo margination when flowing in blood vessels,
such that there is an excess concentration near the vessel wall. We conduct experiments …

Aiming for the simulation of colloidal droplets in microfluidic devices, we present here a
numerical method for two-fluid systems subject to surface tension and depletion forces …
