Spanning biological, mathematical, computational, and engineering
sciences, computational biofluiddynamics addresses a diverse family
of problems involving fluid flow inside and around living
organisms, organs, tissue, biological cells, and other biological
materials. Computational Hydrodynamics of Capsules and Biological
Cells provides a comprehensive, rigorous, and current introduction
to the fundamental concepts, mathematical formulation, alternative
approaches, and predictions of this evolving field. In the first
several chapters on boundary-element, boundary-integral, and
immersed-boundary methods, the book covers the flow-induced
deformation of idealized two-dimensional red blood cells in Stokes
flow, capsules with spherical unstressed shapes based on direct and
variational formulations, and cellular flow in domains with complex
geometry. It also presents simulations of microscopic hemodynamics
and hemorheology as well as results on the deformation of capsules
and cells in dilute and dense suspensions. The book then describes
a discrete membrane model where a surface network of viscoelastic
links emulates the spectrin network of the cytoskeleton, before
presenting a novel two-dimensional model of red and white blood
cell motion. The final chapter discusses the numerical simulation
of platelet motion near a wall representing injured tissue. This
volume provides a roadmap to the current state of the art in
computational cellular mechanics and biofluiddynamics. It also
indicates areas for further work on mathematical formulation and
numerical implementation and identifies physiological problems that
need to be addressed in future research. MATLAB (R) code and other
data are available at http://dehesa.freeshell.org/CC2
