Mechanical complexity of living cells can be mapped onto simple homogeneous equivalents
Sebastian Wohlrab, Sebastian J. Müller, Stephan Gekle
Biological cells are built up from many different constituents of varying size and stiffness which all contribute to the cell's mechanical properties. Despite this heterogeneity, i…
Cell-free layer of red blood cells in a constricted microfluidic channel under steady and time-dependent flow conditions
Steffen M. Recktenwald, Katharina Graessel, Yazdan Rashidi +4
Constricted blood vessels in the circulatory system can severely impact the spatiotemporal organization of red blood cells (RBCs) causing various physiological complications. In la…
Predicting cell stress and strain during extrusion bioprinting
Sebastian Johannes Müller, Ben Fabry, Stephan Gekle
Bioprinting of living cells can cause major shape deformations, which may severely affect cell survival and functionality. While the shear stresses occurring during cell flow throu…
On the accuracy and performance of the lattice Boltzmann method with 64-bit, 32-bit and novel 16-bit number formats
Moritz Lehmann, Mathias J. Krause, Giorgio Amati +3
Fluid dynamics simulations with the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) are very memory-intensive. Alongside reduction in memory footprint, significant performance benefits can be achie…
Red blood cell shape transitions and dynamics in time-dependent capillary flows
Steffen M. Recktenwald, Katharina Graessel, Felix M. Maurer +3
The dynamics of single red blood cells (RBCs) determine microvascular blood flow by adapting their shape to the flow conditions in the narrow vessels. In this study, we explore the…
Analytical and computational study of cascade reaction processes in catalytic fibrous membranes
Gabriel Sitaru, Stephan Gekle
Multistep catalytic reactions use two different catalysts for the and the subsequent reaction, respectively. Often the employed catalysts are chemically incompati…
