Deformation of a red blood cell in a narrow rectangular microchannel

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Naoki Takeishi and colleagues from the Graduate School of Engineering Science, Osaka University, Machikaneyama, Toyonaka, Department of Physics, Graduate School of Science, Chiba University, Chiba, Japan have published the research: Deformation of a Red Blood Cell in a Narrow Rectangular Microchannel, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: The authors numerically investigated the behavior of RBCs flowing at different velocities in a narrow rectangular microchannel that mimicked a microfluidic device. To quantify the symmetry of the stable configuration of the deformed RBC, the authors propose a symmetry index IDsym, which is defined by the volume ratio . . .
