Abstract
In this study, the motion and deformation of a red blood cell in a Poiseuille flow through microvessels under the effect of a uniform transverse magnetic field is comprehensively investigated to get a better insight into blood hemorheology. The rheology of the RBC and the surrounding blood flow are examined numerically in two dimensions using a Finite Element Method. It is essential to know that the flow patterns of blood change in the presence of an RBC. The simulation results demonstrate that the magnetic field has significant influence on the flow stream and the behavior of the RBC, including the motion and the cells deformation.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
