Modeling Red Blood Cell Viscosity Contrast Using Inner Soft Particle Suspension

Modeling Red Blood Cell Viscosity Contrast Using Inner Soft Particle Suspension

The inner viscosity of a biological red blood cell is about five times larger than the viscosity of the blood plasma. In this work, we use dissipative particles to enable the proper viscosity contrast in a mesh-based red blood cell model. Each soft particle represents a coarse-grained virtual cluste...
