Two-dimensional simulation of the flow behavior of a single deformable red blood cell suspension through a stenosed microvessel

We simulated the flow behavior of a single red blood cell (RBC) passing through a two-dimensional stenosed microvessel. Blood flow was computed using the lattice Boltzmann method, and the fluid-membrane interaction between the flow field and deformable RBC was incorporated using the immersed boundar...
