Towards a universal law for blood flow
Alexander Farutin, Abdessamad Nait-Ouhra, Gopal Dixit +4
Despite decades of research on blood flow, an analogue of Navier-Stokes equations that accurately describe blood flow properties has not been established yet. The reason behind thi…
Optimal cell transport in straight channels and networks
Alexander Farutin, Zaiyi Shen, Gael Prado +9
Flux of rigid or soft particles (such as drops, vesicles, red blood cells, etc.) in a channel is a complex function of particle concentration, which depends on the details of induc…
Predicting optimal hematocrit in silico
Alexander Farutin, Zaiyi Shen, Gael Prado +9
Optimal hematocrit maximizes oxygen transport. In healthy humans, the average hematocrit is in the range of 40-45, but it can significantly change in blood pathologie…
Blood crystal: emergent order of red blood cells under wall-confined shear flow
Zaiyi Shen, Thomas M. Fischer, Alexander Farutin +3
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.…
Inversion of hematocrit partition at microfluidic bifurcations
Zaiyi Shen, Gwennou Coupier, Badr Kaoui +4
Partitioning of red blood cells (RBCs) at the level of bifurcations in the microcirculatory system affects many physiological functions yet it remains poorly understood. We address…
Forced transport of deformable containers through narrow constrictions
Remy Kusters, Thijs van der Heijden, Badr Kaoui +2
We study, numerically and analytically, the forced transport of deformable containers through a narrow constriction. Our central aim is to quantify the competition between the cons…
Interplay between microdynamics and macrorheology in vesicle suspensions
Badr Kaoui, Ruben J. W. Jonk, Jens Harting
The microscopic dynamics of objects suspended in a fluid determines the macroscopic rheology of a suspension. For example, as shown by Danker and Misbah [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 98},…
Interplay of inertia and deformability on rheological properties of a suspension of capsules
Timm Krueger, Badr Kaoui, Jens Harting
The interplay of inertia and deformability has a substantial impact on the transport of soft particles suspended in a fluid. However, to date a thorough understanding of these syst…
How does confinement affect the dynamics of viscous vesicles and red blood cells?
Badr Kaoui, Timm Krüger, Jens Harting
Despite its significance in microfluidics, the effect of confinement on the transition from the tank-treading (steady motion) to the tumbling (unsteady motion) dynamical state of d…
Two-dimensional Vesicle dynamics under shear flow: effect of confinement
Badr Kaoui, Jens Harting, Chaouqi Misbah
Dynamics of a single vesicle under shear flow between two parallel plates is studied using two-dimensional lattice-Boltzmann simulations. We first present how we adapted the lattic…
