Modeling Red Blood Cell Deformation at Supraphysiological Strain Rates Using a Droplet Framework
The model adaptations successfully produce accurate RBC deformation results at MCSD relevant strain rates for two flow types and two suspension viscosities. The strengths of the model are in relatively high velocity gradient magnitudes and/or suspension viscosities where RBCs emulate liquid droplets.
