Figure 3. Simulated distribution of RBCs and NMPs within the capillary.
(a) RBCs and (b) NMPs are randomly distributed within the capillary in the initial configuration (t = 0 sec). (c) Representative images showing the RBC and NMP distribution within the capillary at different time points during the simulation. The hematocrit is 30% and the number of NMPs is 100. d) The complexity of the flow field around the NMPs, in proximity of the RBCs.
