Erythrocyte deformability in a hyperbolic microchannel

Serious diseases such as diabetes and malaria are deeply related to microcirculation disorders caused by abnormal erythrocytes deformability [1]. Therefore, various studies on red blood cells (RBCs) deformation have been carried out but those studies rather focus on shear ow or extensional ow [2-6]....
