Numerical modeling of motion and deformation of cells in microscale hydrodynamic and electric fields by Ye, Ting

“…As the first academic achievement made in this thesis, the two novel numerical methods are developed to efficiently treat the two-fluid model, namely the modified particle binary level set (MPBLS) method for tracking the cell membrane, and the modified semi-implicit method for pressure linked equations-revised (modified SIMPLER). • The MPBLS method employs the binary level set function to distinguish different materials, and further scatters a number of Lagrangian particles on the interface to correct the interface and provide the interface information. …”
