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：
Aims & Scope: Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine, publishes peer-reviewed research articles on the biological effects and medical applications of non-ionizing electromagnetic fields (from extremely-low frequency to radiofrequency). Topic examples include in vitro and in vivo studies, epidemiological investigation, mechanism and mode of interaction between non-ionizing electromagnetic fields and biological systems. In addition to publishing original articles, the journal also publishes meeting summaries and reports, and reviews on selected topics.
