Computer Simulation Study of Collective Phenomena in Dense Suspensions of Red Blood Cells under Shear

The rheology of dense red blood cell suspensions is investigated via computer simulations based on the lattice Boltzmann, the immersed boundary, and the finite element methods. The red blood cells are treated as extended and deformable particles immersed in the ambient fluid. In the first part of th...
