Table 1.

Simulation parameters for each type of SS-RBC. The symbol “MCHC” represents mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration values. The symbols “E”, “S”, “H” and “G” represent the elongated, sickle, holly leaf and granular shape of the SS-RBC. μ and μ0 represent the shear modulus of the deoxygenated SS-RBC and healthy RBC respectively. θ0 and w represent the spontaneous deflection angle and the angular width of the aligned hemoglobin polymer domains, respectively

MCHC μ θ0 w
E 32 g dL−1 [20μ0,80μ0] 180°
S 32 g dL−1 [20μ0,80μ0] [178.5°,179°]
H 34 g dL−1 [30μ0,120μ0] 180° [45°,60°]
G 38 g dL−1 [40μ0,2000μ0] 180° 180°
