Motivated by the complex rheological behaviors observed in small/micro scale blood vessels, such as the Fahraeus effect, plasma-skimming, shear-thinning, etc., we develop a non-linear suspension model for blood. The viscosity is assumed to…
Microcapsules with liquid cores encapsulated by thin membranes have many applications in science, medicine and industry. In this paper, we design a suspension of microcapsules which flow and deform like red blood cells (RBCs), as a valuable…
Non-particulate continuum descriptions allow for computationally efficient modeling of suspension flows at scales that are inaccessible to more detailed particulate approaches. It is well known that the presence of particles influences the…
Microfluidic technologies are commonly used for the manipulation of red blood cell (RBC) suspensions and analyses of flow-mediated biomechanics. To enhance the performance of microfluidic devices, understanding the dynamics of the…
The Suspension Balance Model (SBM) [J. Fluid Mech. \textbf{275}, 157 (1994)] for two-phase flows uses the momentum balance of the particle phase as a closure for the particle flux, showing that particle migration is driven by the divergence…
We investigate the dynamics of the Red Blood Cell (RBC) in microfluidic channels under oscillatory flows. The simulations employ a hybrid continuum-particle approach, in which the cell membrane and cytosol fluid are modeled using…
Suspension flows are ubiquitous in nature (hemodynamics, subsurface fluid mechanics, etc.) and industrial applications (hydraulic fracturing, CO$_2$ storage, etc.). However, such flows are notoriously difficult to model due to the variety…
We present a computational framework for the simulation of blood flow with fully resolved red blood cells (RBCs) using a modular approach that consists of a lattice Boltzmann solver for the blood plasma, a novel finite element based solver…

We present a numerical analysis of the rheology of a suspension of red blood cells (RBCs) in a wall-bounded shear flow. The flow is assumed as almost inertialess. The suspension of RBCs, modeled as biconcave capsules whose membrane follows…
Constricted blood vessels in the circulatory system can severely impact the spatiotemporal organization of red blood cells (RBCs) causing various physiological complications. In lab-on-a-chip applications, constrictions are commonly used…
Red blood cells (RBCs) are an essential component of blood. A method to include the particulate nature of blood is introduced here with the goal of studying circulation in large-scale realistic vessels. The method uses a combination of the…
We present a continuum scale particle transport model for red blood cells following collision arguments in a diffusive flux formulation. The model is implemented in FOAM, in a framework for haemodynamics simulations. Modern mechanistic…

The complexity of the interactions between the constituent granular and liquid phases of a suspension requires an adequate treatment of the constituents themselves. A promising way for numerical simulations of such systems is given by…
In this paper the bright-field defocusing microscopy (DM) technique is presented. DM is able to obtain quantitative information of each plane/surface of pure phase objects, as live unlabeled cells, and its application to red blood cells…
Bifurcations and branches in the microcirculation dramatically affect blood flow as they determine the spatiotemporal organization of red blood cells (RBCs). Such changes in vessel geometries can further influence the formation of a…
Deformable elastic bodies in viscous and viscoelastic media constitute a large portion of synthetic and biological complex fluids. We present a parallelized 3D-simulation methodology which fully resolves the momentum balance in the solid…
Driven or active suspensions can display fascinating collective behavior, where coherent motions or structures arise on a scale much larger than that of the constituent particles. Here, we report experiments and numerical simulations…
We present a new method for the geometric reconstruction of elastic surfaces simulated by the immersed boundary method with the goal of simulating the motion and interactions of cells in whole blood. Our method uses parameter-free radial…
