Numerical simulation of blood with fluid-structure interactions using the lattice-Boltzmann method

The fluid dynamics video presented here outlines recent advances in the simulation of multiphase cellular blood flow through the direct numerical simulations of deformable red blood cells (RBCs) demonstrated through several numerical experiments. Videos show RBC deformations in variety of numerical simulations, relative viscosity of a suspension of RBCs in shear, and the cell-depleted wall layer for blood Hagen--Poiseuille flow.
