We analyse mathematical models in order to understand how microstructural features of vascular networks may affect blood-flow dynamics, and to identify particular characteristics that promote the onset of self-sustained oscillations. By…
The reversible aggregation of red blood cells (RBCs) is a process of erythrocytes clumping that strongly influences the rheological properties of blood. The adhesion of RBCs has been studied extensively in the frame of cell-to-cell…
Inertial focusing in curved microfluidic ducts exploits the interaction of drag force from the Dean flow with the inertial lift force to separate particles or cells laterally across the cross-section width according to their size.…
Background and Objective: This proof of concept study investigates mathematical modelling of blood flow and oxygen transport in cerebral microcirculation, focusing on understanding hemodynamic responses. By coupling oxygen transport models…
Diffusion within porous media, such as biological tissues, exhibits departures from conventional Fick's laws, which could result in space-fractional diffusion. The paper considers a reaction-diffusion system with two spatial compartments --…
Background and Objective: The role of red blood cell dynamics is emphasised in certain cardiovascular diseases, and thus needs to be closely studied. A multiphase model of blood flow allows the resolution of locally varying density of red…
Blood flow in sickle cell disease (SCD) can substantially differ from normal blood flow due to significant alterations in the physical properties of the red blood cells (RBCs). Chronic complications, such as inflammation of the endothelial…
The transport of Brownian particles in a slit geometry in the presence of an arbitrary two-dimensional periodic energy landscape and driven by an external force or convected by a flow field is investigated by means of macrotransport theory.…
Many of the intriguing properties of blood originate from its cellular nature. Bulk effects, such as viscosity, depend on the local shear rates and on the size of the vessels. While empirical descriptions of bulk rheology are available for…
We present a quantitative semiclassical treatment of the effects of bifurcations on the spectral rigidity and the spectral form factor of a Hamiltonian quantum system defined by two coupled quartic oscillators, which on the classical level…
We analyze and simulate a two dimensional Brownian multi-type particle system with death and branching (birth) depending on the position of particles of different types. The system is confined in the two dimensional box, whose boundaries…
The geometry of blood vessels strongly affects hemostasis and thrombosis through red blood cell (RBC) dynamics and platelet margination. Growing platelet aggregates, in turn, reshape the local vessel wall topography, leading to a strongly…
Red blood cells (RBCs) sustain mechanical stresses associated with microcirculatory flow through ATP-driven plasma membrane flickering. This is an active phenomenon driven by motor proteins that regulate interactions between the spectrin…
The fluid dynamics video that is presented here outlines recent advances in the simulation of multiphase cellular blood flow through the direct numerical simulations of deformable red blood cells (RBCs) demonstrated through several…
We present a numerical analysis of the rheology of a suspension of red blood cells (RBCs) for different volume fractions in a wall-bounded, effectively inertialess, small amplitude oscillatory shear (SAOS) flow for a wide range of applied…
The understanding and prediction of sudden changes in flow patterns is of paramount importance in the analysis of geophysical flows as these rare events relate to critical phenomena such as atmospheric blocking, the weakening of the Gulf…
Abnormal hemoglobins can have major consequences for tissue delivery of oxygen. Correct diagnosis of hemoglobinopathies with altered oxygen affinity requires a determination of hemoglobin oxygen dissociation curve (ODC), which relates the…
Flow diversion has become a key treatment modality for selected intracranial aneurysms, relying on the principle that a dense mesh of stent wires disrupts blood flow into the aneurysm sac, promoting thrombosis and vessel reconstruction.…
We investigate the physics of an optically-driven micromotor of biological origin. A single, live red blood cell, when placed in an optical trap folds into a rod-like shape. If the trapping laser beam is circularly polarized, the folded RBC…
We discuss numerically the non-perturbative effects in exponential random graphs which are analogue of eigenvalue instantons in matrix models. The phase structure of exponential random graphs with chemical potential for 4-cycles and degree…
