Red Blood Cell Behaviors in Microvessels Simulated by the Immersed Boundary Lattice Boltzmann Method
This paper summarizes our recent simulations of microscopic blood flows in various flow situations. An immersed boundary lattice Boltzmann method has been developed to incorporate red blood cell mechanics, fluid dynamics, as well as flow-cell interactions. This model has been adapted to study biological phenomena, including the cell free layer development, red blood cell aggregation and dissociation, microvessel shear stress variation, and the red blood cell partitioning in bifurcated microvessels. These results demonstrate the potential usefulness of our numerical model in simulating microscopic blood flows and could be valuable for biological and biomedical applications.
