Motion of a tank-treading ellipsoidal particle in a shear flow
Abstract
A theoretical model is developed for the motion of a human red blood cell in a shear field. The model consists of a tank-treading ellipsoidal membrane encapsulating an incompressible Newtonian liquid immersed in a plane shear flow of another incom- pressible Newtonian liquid. Equilibrium and energy considerations lead to a solution for the motion of the particle that depends on the ellipsoidal-axis ratios and the ratio of the inner- to outer-liquid viscosities. The effect of variation in these parameters is explored and it is shown that, depending on their values, one of two types of overall motion is exhibited: a steady stationary-orientation motion or an unsteady flipping motion. A qualitative agreement of the predicted behaviour of the model with experi- mental observations on red blood cells is found.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
