A Numerical Investigation on the Effect of Size and Volume Fraction of Red Blood Cells in a Microchannel with Sudden Expansion

This study numerically investigates the effects of red blood cell (RBC) volume fraction (hematocrit) and RBC diameter on cell distribution, cell-free layer (CFL) thickness and pressure drop in a microchannel with sudden expansion. Hematocrit levels of 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5, together with RBC diamete...
