Lingering Dynamics in Microvascular Blood Flow
A. Kihm, S. Quint, M. W. Laschke +4
The microvascular networks in the body of vertebrates consist of the smallest vessels such as arterioles, capillaries, and venules. The flow of RBCs through these networks ensures…
Vortical flow structures induced by red blood cells in capillaries
François Yaya, Johannes Römer, Achim Guckenberger +4
Knowledge about the flow field of the plasma around the red blood cells in capillary flow is important for a physical understanding of blood flow and the transport of micro- and na…
Swimming of bacterium \textit{Bacillus subtilis} with multiple bundles of flagella
Javad Najafi, Florian Altegoer, Gert Bange +1
We characterize the bundle properties for three different strains of \textit{B. subtilis} bacteria with various numbers of flagella. Our study reveals that, surprisingly, the numbe…
Flagellar number governs bacterial spreading and transport efficiency
Javad Najafi, M. Reza Shaebani, Thomas John +3
Peritrichous bacteria synchronize and bundle their flagella to actively swim while disruption of the bundle leads to tumbling. It is still not known whether the number of flagella…
Vesicle dynamics in confined steady and harmonically modulated Poiseuille flows
Zakaria Boujja, Chaouqi Misbah, Hamid Ez-Zahraouy +4
We present a numerical study of the time-dependent motion of a two-dimensional vesicle in a channel under an imposed flow. In a Poiseuille flow the shape of the vesicle depends on…
Classification of red blood cell shapes in flow using outlier tolerant machine learning
Alexander Kihm, Lars Kaestner, Christian Wagner +1
The manual evaluation, classification and counting of biological objects demands for an enormous expenditure of time and subjective human input may be a source of error. Investigat…
