The measurement of a quantitative and macroscopic parameter to estimate the global
motility of a large population of swimming biological cells is a challenge. Experiments on the …

In this paper we review simulation methods, which address suspension flows at different
length scales. Taking the multiscale problem of confined suspension flow in fractionation …

accepted January 16, 2009; published April 10, 2009) This article gives an overview of
recent theoretical and experimental findings concerning the hydrodynamic interaction …

This paper presents three-dimensional numerical simulations of non-colloidal dense
suspensions in a wall-bounded shear flow at zero Reynolds number. Simulations rely on a …

Red blood cells play a major role in body metabolism by supplying oxygen from the
microvasculature to different organs and tissues. Understanding blood flow properties in …

We investigate the yielding and recovery of silver pastes with industrial applications under
dynamic shear conditions by means of the recently developed “sequence of physical …

We study the shearing rheology of dense suspensions of elastic capsules, taking
aggregation-free red blood cells as a physiologically relevant example. Particles are non …

Dynamics and rheology of a confined suspension of vesicles (a model for red blood cells)
are studied numerically in two dimensions by using an immersed boundary lattice …

Confined systems ranging from the atomic to the granular are ubiquitous in nature.
Experiments and simulations of such atomic and granular systems have shown a complex …

We study the rheology of a sheared two-dimensional (2D) suspension of non-Brownian
disks in the presence of walls. Although it is of course possible today with modern computers …
