Multi-Component Lattice Boltzmann Equation simulation of blood from the cellular scale to the continuum scale

Abstract Lattice Boltzmann Equation (LBE) simulation method is a meso-scopic (distribution function-based) numerical technique, well adapted for computing certain classes of fluid flow, including complex multi-component flow, not least because of an intrinsic parallel implementability. Blood is a colloid, comprised of plasma (an incompressible Newtonian fluid) in which are suspended a high concentration of very…
