Prediction of non-inertial focusing of red blood cells in Poiseuille flow

The motions of a red blood cell in Poiseuille flows in a range of channel widths are simulated using a two-dimensional model. For a range of initial off-centerline distances in a 12-μm channel, cell trajectories converge to a specific off-centerline position and exhibit tank-treading motions. This b...
