Abstract
Red Blood Cells (RBCs) are the main cells in human blood with a main role in mechanical properties of blood as a fluid. Several methods are developed to simulate the behavior of RBCs motion and deformation in micro-capillaries. Since in microscopic scales, using discrete models are more preferred than continuum methods, moving particle semi-implicit method (MPS) which is one of the recent innovative particle based methods, can simulate micro-fluidic flows based on Navier-Stocks equations. Although by the recent developments MPS method has turned into a considerable tool for modeling blood flow in micro-scales, but still some problems, such as commitment to use small time steps, restrict the...
