Structure and rheology of suspensions of spherical strain-hardening capsules
Othmane Aouane, Andrea Scagliarini, Jens Harting
We investigate the rheology of strain-hardening spherical capsules, from the dilute to the concentrated regime under a confined shear flow using three-dimensional numerical simulat…

The buckling instability of aggregating red blood cells
Daniel Flormann, Othmane Aouane, Lars Kaestner +4
Plasma proteins such as fibrinogen induce the aggregation of red blood cells (RBC) into rouleaux, which are responsible for the pronounced shear thinning behavior of blood, control…
