A red blood cell tank-treads with a swing motion in a 3D shear flow
- The length and the depth of the channel are 20 microns and its height is 10 microns.
- The density of fluid inside and outside of the membrane is 1.
- The viscosity of the fluid inside and outside of the membrane is 0.012.
- There is no shape memory effect in this simulation.
- The shear rate is 25/s.
The cell is suspended in the middle between two planes moving in the opposite direction with the same speed.
Two red * marks on the cell membrane show the tran-treading motion of the cell (with a swing motion).
