Mechanobiology of shear-induced platelet aggregation leading to occlusive arterial thrombosis: a multiscale in silico analysis
Zixiang L Liu, David N Ku, Cyrus K Aidun
Occlusive thrombosis in arteries causes heart attacks and strokes. The rapid growth of thrombus at elevated shear rates (~10,000 1/s) relies on shear-induced platelet aggregation (…
Heterogeneous partition of cellular blood-borne nanoparticles through microvascular bifurcations
Zixiang L. Liu, Jonathan R. Clausen, Justin L. Wagner +5
Blood flowing through microvascular bifurcations has been an active research topic for many decades, while the partitioning pattern of nanoscale solutes in the blood remains relati…
A unified analysis of nano-to-microscale particle dispersion in tubular blood flow
Zixiang Liu, Jonathan R. Clausen, Rekha R. Rao +1
Transport of solid particles in blood flow exhibits qualitative differences in the transport mechanism when the particle varies from nanoscale to microscale size comparable to the…
Nanoparticle diffusion in sheared cellular blood flow
Zixiang Liu, Jonathan R. Clausen, Rekha R. Rao +1
Using a multiscale blood flow solver, the complete diffusion tensor of nanoparticle (NP) in sheared cellular blood flow is calculated over a wide range of shear rate and haematocri…
Conformational dynamics of charged polymers interacting with charged nanoparticles
Yuanzheng Zhu, Zixiang Liu, Michael T. Griffin +2
The transition from globular to elongated states of biopolymers in shear flow occurs at a distinct critical shear rate, . The magnitude of depends on the…
Multiscale method based on coupled lattice-Boltzmann and Langevin-dynamics for direct simulation of nanoscale particle/polymer suspensions in complex flows
Zixiang Liu, Yuanzheng Zhu, Jonathan R. Clausen +3
A hybrid computational method coupling the lattice-Boltzmann (LB) method and a Langevin-dynamics (LD) method is developed to simulate nanoscale particle and polymer (NPP) suspensio…
