Transient deformations and motions of three healthy RBCs during Poiseuille flow through a constricted vessel: (a) d/D = 30/30 at t = 45 ms, (b) d/D = 24/30 at t = 47 ms, (c) d/D = 20/30 at t = 51 ms, (d) d/D = 16/30 at t = 59.5 ms, (e) d/D = 12/30 at t = 85 ms, and (f) d/D = 12/30 at t = 116.5 ms.

(a) d/D = 30/30, t = 45 ms

(b) d/D = 24/30, t = 47 ms

(c) d/D = 20/30, t = 51 ms

(d) d/D = 16/30, t = 59.5 ms

(e) d/D = 12/30, t = 85 ms

(f) d/D = 10/30, t = 116.5 ms
