| Abstract | From an averaged point of view, blood can often be treated computationally as a single-phase fluid of non-Newtonian character. Such a model may be appropriate if information regarding the bulk motion of the blood is all that is required. If, however, one seeks to describe the mechanisms leading to diseases such as thrombosis in the presence of foreign surfaces such as prosthesis, accurate predictions of platelet behavior in the dynamic environment of the blood are required. There are several effects that necessitate a careful treatment of platelet dynamics. For example, it is well known that the presence of red blood cells has a significant impact on radial distribution of platelets as well as the shear stress experienced by the platelets [1]. Therefore, the paths of and forces experienced by individual platelets are to be determined in order to predict the location and predilection for thrombus formation. However, since the length scales of the platelets are much smaller than the typical dimensions of the flow regions through which blood flows, it is not possible to capture platelet dynamics in a single-scale computation. Therefore, a multiscale technique for incorporating the dynamics of platelets and platelet-RBC interactions into large-scale flow simulations is required. We therefore examine a suspension of ellipsoidal and circular rigid particles that are representative of red blood cells and platelets carried in a Newtonian fluid to study the interaction or red blood cells and platelets. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
