Dynamics of a large population of red blood cells under shear flow
Christophe Minetti, Vassanti Audemar, Thomas Podgorski +1
An exhaustive description of the dynamics under shear flow of a large number of red blood cells in dilute regime is proposed, which highlights and takes into account the dispersion…
Cluster of red blood cells in microcapillary flow: hydrodynamic versus macromolecule induced interaction
Viviana Clavería, Othmane Aouane, Marine Thiébaud +5
We present experiments on RBCs that flow through microcapillaries under physiological conditions. We show that the RBC clusters form as a subtle imbrication between hydrodynamics i…
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…
The plasma protein fibrinogen stabilizes clusters of red blood cells in microcapillary flows
M. Brust, O. Aouane, M. Thiebaud +10
The supply of oxygen and nutrients and the disposal of metabolic waste in the organs depend strongly on how blood, especially red blood cells, flow through the microvascular networ…
Lift and down-gradient shear-induced diffusion in Red Blood Cell suspensions
Xavier Grandchamp, Gwennou Coupier, Aparna Srivastav +2
The distribution of Red Blood Cells in a confined channel flow is inhomogeneous and shows a marked depletion near the walls due to a competition between migration away from the wal…
