Traffic congestion, a daily frustration for millions and a multi-billion dollar drain on economies, has long resisted deep physical understanding. While simple theoretical models of traffic flow have suggested connections to critical…
We present a rigorous procedure to derive coarse-grained red blood cell (RBC) models, which lead to accurate mechanical properties of realistic RBCs. Based on a semi-analytic theory linear and non-linear elastic properties of the RBC…

Red Blood Cells flowing in a microchannel undergo dispersion in the flow direction due to the non-uniform velocity profile while transverse migration due to cell-wall interactions tends to focus them along the center line. This results in a…
This article analyses the assumptions regarding the influence of pressure forces during the calculation of the motion of a Newtonian fluid. The purpose of the analysis is to determine the reasonableness of the assumptions and their impact…
The distribution of Red Blood Cells in a confined channel flow is inhomogeneous and shows a marked depletion near the walls due to a competition between migration away from the walls and shear-induced diffusion resulting from interactions…
This paper presents some novel contributions to the theory of inviscid flow regarding the forces exerted on a body moving through such a fluid in two dimensions. It is argued that acceleration of the body corresponds to vorticity generation…
