Figure 11

Transient deformations and motions of three sick RBCs during Poiseuille flow through a contracted vessel with Re = 0.10: (a) d/D = 30/30 at t = 46.5 ms, (b) d/D = 24/30 at t = 47.5 ms, (c) d/D = 20/30 at t = 51.5 ms, (d) d/D = 16/30 at t = 62 ms, (e) d/D = 12/30 at t = 88 ms, and (f) d/D = 12/30 at t = 110 ms.

(a) d/D = 30/30; t = 46.5 ms

(b) d/D = 24/30; t = 47.5 ms

(c) d/D = 20/30; t = 51.5 ms

(d) d/D = 16/30; t = 62 ms

(e) d/D = 12/30; t = 88 ms

(f) d/D = 10/30; t = 110 ms
