Fig. 1. Numerical setup of the ‘toy model’ for particle simulations of ellipsoids (i.e. fibers).

Fig. 1

(a) Schematic of the setup: a tube of length L and diameter D is considered (with L > > D). The injection plane represents the initial location of the particles (t = 0). The Womersley velocity profile is denoted as u(r,t). Note the direction of gravity in the negative y-direction. (b) Cross-sectional view of the tube with the initial location of the particles at t = 0. Color coding of particles (from blue to red) indicates their initial position in the y–z plane. (c) Rendering of ellipsoid particles of fixed volume with varying aspect ratio (AR). (For interpretation of the references to color in this figure legend, the reader is referred to the web version of this article.)
