Many physiological processes take place under flow conditions: blood flowing through the vasculature, cells migrating through the endothelium, and biofilms forming in tissue. BioFlux shear flow ...

Phase-plane and small-parameter asymptotic techniques are used to analyze systems of ordinary differential equations that describe the transient behavior of non-Newtonian fluids in shear flow. These ...

The destruction of red blood cells, or mechanical hemolysis, is an inevitable complication of interventional devices, so scientists want to gain a better understanding of the phenomenon. Researchers ...

Many medical devices for treating heart failure generate nonphysiological shear flow. This can trigger the destruction of red blood cells after implantation of ventricular assist devices (VADs), ...

As postgraduate students in the department of physics and clinical medicine at Trinity College, Dublin, Vivienne Williams and Dmitry Kashanin were working on a project to investigate microfluidics and ...
