A COMPUTATIONAL STUDY OF RED BLOOD CELL DEFORMABILITY EFFECT ON HEMODYNAMIC ALTERATION IN CAPILLARY VESSEL NETWORKS

A computational study of red blood cell deformability effect on hemodynamic alteration in capillary vessel networks

Abstract Capillary blood vessels, the smallest vessels in the body, form an intricate network with constantly bifurcating, merging and winding vessels.Red blood cells (RBCs) must navigate through such complex microvascular networks in order to maintain tissue perfusion and oxygenation.Normal, healthy RBCs are extremely deformable and able to easily
