Dynamics and Lateral Migration of Red Blood Cells in Stokes Flow
In blood microvessels, the finite size of the red blood cell relative to the vessel diameter gives rise to non-continuum behavior. One such effect is the presence of a cell-free or cell-depleted layer of plasma near the vessel walls. This results from the tendency of red blood cells to migrate away...
