Project
Red Blood Cell Deformation
FSI simulation of red blood cell deformation in microscale flow. Captures the membrane elasticity and fluid interaction.
1 Challenge
Modeling the deformation of red blood cells under shear flow conditions.
2 CFD Approach
The RBC was modeled as a capsule freely suspended in a viscous shear flow. The capsule consists of an elastic membrane containing another viscous fluid with the same properties inside and outside.
3 Results
Pressure contours and streamlines show the deformation under shear stresses.
4 Engineering Conclusion
The model captures the membrane elasticity and fluid interaction at microscale.
