| Abstract | A suspension of red blood cells in a flow undergoes hydrodynamic or shear-induced diffusion. It is known from experiments that deoxygenated or stiffer red blood cells have a lower hydrodynamic diffusion coefficient compared to oxygenated or softer red blood cells. In this paper, we numerically calculate the hydrodynamic diffusion coefficients of a suspension of elastic capsules of viscosity ratio unity and as a function of volume fraction, elastic capillary number and channel height in a bounded simple shear flow. We show that the time required for the suspension to reach the diffusive regime in the direction perpendicular to the shear plane decreases with channel height. In a narrow channel, the effect of capsule elasticity is to delay the approach to a diffusive regime. However, the motion in the direction parallel to the velocity gradient is always subdiffusive. We show that the hydrodynamic diffusion coefficient in the direction perpendicular to the shear plane varies linearly with capsule volume fraction up to about 25%. In addition, it does not increase monotonously with elastic capillary number but drops when the capsules become sufficiently soft. Finally, it displays a weak dependence on the channel height. |

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.
