Blood flow in a bifurcation and confluence microchannel: the effectof the cell-free layer in the velocity profiles

A few detailed studies have been performed in complex in vitro microvascular networks composed by bifurcations and confluences. The main purpose of the present work is to numerically simulate the flow of two distinct fluids through bifurcation and confluence geometries, i. e red blood cells (RBCs) s...
