Structure-Induced Dynamics of Erythrocyte Aggregates by Microscale Simulation
Figure 7
Motion and dissociation of a four-cell erythrocyte aggregate in a 12 m stenotic channel at time instants (a) ms; (b) ms; (c) ms; and (d) ms. Velocity vectors (a1-d1) and axial velocity magnitude contours (cm/s) (a2-d2) are presented. The initial configuration for the aggregate is shown in Figure 1(d), and the aggregate is horizontally placed in the channel initially. The parameters used are μJ/, Nm.
