A new membrane formulation for modelling the flow of stomatocyte, discocyte, and echinocyte red blood cells

In this work, a numerical model that enables simulation of the deformation and flow behaviour of differently aged Red Blood Cells (RBCs) is developed. Such cells change shape and decrease in deformability as they age, thus impacting their ability to pass through the narrow capillaries in the body. W...
