Microscale flow dynamics of red blood cells in microchannels: an experimental and numerical analysis

Approximately, the half volume of the blood is composed of red blood cells (RBCs) which is believed to strongly influence its flow properties. Blood flow in microvessels depends strongly on the motion, deformation and interaction of RBCs. Several experimental studies on both individual and concentra...
