A micro-continuum approach is proposed to simulate the dissolution of solid minerals at the
pore scale in the presence of multiple fluid phases. The approach employs an extended …

We perform micro-PIV measurements in micromodels using very simple optical equipment
combined with efficient image acquisition and processing. The pore-scale velocity …

Predicting blood microflow in both simple and complex geometries is challenging because
of the composition and behavior of the blood at microscale. However, characterization of the …

The physics of blood flow in small vessel networks is dominated by the interactions between
Red Blood Cells (RBCs), plasma and blood vessel walls. The resulting couplings between …

The lateral migration of red blood cells (RBCs) in confined channel flows is an important
ingredient of microcirculatory hydrodynamics and is involved in the development of a cell …

The root causes for the mechanisms for margination and near-wall platelet accumulation
have previously been investigated by numerical simulations and the results pointed to two …

Immiscible two-phase flow through porous media is composed of a series of pore invasions;
however, the consequences of pore-scale processes on macroscopic fluid front behavior …

An exhaustive description of the dynamics under shear flow of a large number of red blood
cells in a dilute regime is proposed, which highlights and takes into account the dispersion …

Accurate characterization of the cell membrane transport properties of human oocytes is of
great significance to reproductive pharmacology, fertility preservation, and assisted …

The non-uniform partitioning or phase separation of red blood cells (RBCs) at a diverging
bifurcation of a microvascular network is responsible for RBC heterogeneity within the …
