Confocal Micro-flow Visualization of Blood Cells
Progress in the development of confocal microscopy and the advantages of this technique over conventional microscopy have led to a new technique known as confocal micro-PTV. This technique combines a manual tracking method with a spinning disk confocal microscope. By combining its spatial filtering technique with a multipoint illumination system, this technique has the ability to obtain in-focu...
متن کاملRed blood cell replacement, or nanobiotherapeutics with enhanced red blood cell functions?
Why is this important? Under normal circumstances, donor blood is the best replacement for blood. However, there are exceptions: During natural epidemics (e.g., HIV, Ebola, etc.) or man-made epidemics (terrorism, war, etc.), there is a risk of donor blood being contaminated, and donors being disqualified because they have contracted disease. Unlike red blood cells (RBCs), blood substitutes can ...
متن کاملQuantification of red blood cell deformation at high-hematocrit blood flow in microvessels.
The deformation of red blood cells in microvessels was investigated numerically for various vessel diameters, hematocrits, and shear rates. We simulated blood flow in circular channels with diameters ranging from 9 to 50 μm, hematocrits from 20% to 45%, and shear rates from 20 to 150 s(-1) using a particle-based model with parallel computing. The apparent viscosity predicted by the simulation w...
متن کاملPhysical Modelling of Self-Aeration in a Cavitating Sudden PIPE Expansion Flow
Sudden pipe expansions have been known as efficient hydraulic energy dissipaters for a long time. The complex phenomenon of flow separation and velocity discontinuity at the interface of incoming jet and the recirculation flow, results in intensive shear and tensile rupture of the fluid and the associated destructive phenomenon of cavitation. This paper focuses on aeration in sudden pipe expans...
متن کاملTurbulent flow through a plane sudden expansion
The results are reported of an experimental investigation of turbulent flow through a plane sudden expansion of expansion ratio R=D/d=4 and aspect ratio A= w/h=5.33. It is well known that plane sudden expansions with R greater than 1.5 produce asymmetric flows and this was again seen in this study. The literature for the asymmetric situation (R>1.5) is surprisingly limited and only axial veloci...
