Establishing ‘determination of effect’ of RBC membrane microstructural details on tank‐treading dynamics of RBC in shear flow. ‘Simulation’ refers to the multiscale model89, 90, 91, 100 and ‘single‐layer model’ refers to a single‐scale model. The multiscale model simulation with zero membrane viscosity (v _b = v _s = 0) retrieves the single‐scale model result. With a nonzero membrane viscosity, the multiscale model compares better with the experimental results. (Reprinted with permission from Ref 100. Copyright 2011 Cambridge University Press)
