Figure 5.
(a–e) Platelet dynamics in 3D whole-blood simulation. Shown here are the lateral location of the platelet center (yp, dotted line, left axis), tumbling angle (θ, solid line, first right axis), and off-shear plane angle (ϕ, dashed line, second right axis). (f) Probability of platelet sliding motion as a function of CFL thickness for platelets distributed within the entire CFL (open circles), and for platelets located just outside the RBC-rich zone (solid circles).
