On modeling blood flow in microfluidic devices

The complex problem of simulating the attributes and abilities of microfluidic chambers can be divided into several interconnected areas like modelling the flow through chambers of various shapes, elastic models of particles, the interaction of fluid flow and the particles, modelling the adhesion on the surface of the devices, estimating the necessary degree of accuracy of utilized models, mastering and realization of computing-intensive simulations. In contrary to detailed results in each of this specific areas, in this paper we are going to outline the overall picture of our research, as well as of other research we know of, in the way we have become acquainted with it in the course of the past few years.
