Microvascular blood flow determines a number of important physiological processes of an
organism in health and disease. Therefore, a detailed understanding of microvascular blood …

We present a computational methodology for modeling cellular-scale blood flow in arbitrary
and highly complex geometry. Our approach is based on immersed-boundary methods …

Microvascular blood flow resistance has a strong impact on cardiovascular function and
tissue perfusion. The flow resistance in microcirculation is governed by flow behavior of …

Blood is a vital soft matter, and its normal circulation in the human body relies on the
distribution of red blood cells (RBCs) at successive bifurcations. Understanding how RBCs …

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 the microcirculation, a plasma layer forms near the vessel walls that is free of red blood
cells (RBCs). This region, often termed as the cell-free layer (CFL), plays important …

During the last two decades, several kinds of particulate blood analogue fluids have been
proposed, but none of those were able to mimic the multiphase effects of real blood. Hence …

Microfluidic technologies are commonly used for the manipulation of red blood cell (RBC)
suspensions and analyses of flow-mediated biomechanics. To enhance the performance of …

The dual-slit is a photometric technique used for the measurement of red blood cell (RBC)
velocity in microvessels. Two photometric windows (slits) are positioned along the vessel …

Microvascular networks are not simple straight microchannels but rather complex
geometries composed by successive asymmetric divergent and convergent bifurcations …
