Figure 4.

Effect of flowrate. Concentration profiles of platelets and RBCs in the vessel (D_t = 40 μm) are shown, in which cell suspensions of (a) NRBCs + PLTs, (b) DRBCs + PLTs, and (c) DRBCs + PLT^∗s with identical H_ct = 20% but at different wall shear rates ${\dot{\gamma }}_w$ = 600 and 1000 s⁻¹ are considered. (d) The percentage of marginated platelet ϕ_p is shown for all three cases. To see this figure in color, go online.
