A Mesoscopic Model for Blood Flow Prediction Based on Experimental Observation of Red Blood Cell Interaction

In some species, including humans, red blood cells (RBCs) under low shear stress tend to clump together and form into regular stacks called rouleaux. These stacks are not static, and constantly move and break apart. This phenomenon is referred to as red blood cell aggregation and disaggregation. Whe...
