TLDR
The boundary-value problem posed is based on the model developed by Keller & Skalak and is solved by adapting Jeffrey's general solution for the Stokes flow about a rigid, freely rotating ellipsoid immersed in an unbounded viscous flow.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Determination of red blood cell membrane viscosity from rheoscopic observations of tank-treading motion
TL;DR: The numerical values computed show a clear shear-thinning characteristic as well as a significant augmentation of viscosity with cell age and tend toward agreement with those determined for the rapid phase of shape recovery in micropipettes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of disruption of animal cells by laminar shear stress.
TL;DR: It might be possible to use micromanipulation measurements of animal cell mechanical properties to predict cell damage in more complex flow fields, such as those in bioreactors.

Transient shear stresses on a suspension cell in turbulence.
Robert S. Cherry,Kei-Young Kwon +1 more
TL;DR: A model flow field representative of Kolmogorov eddies in turbulence is proposed, and its two parameters are expressed in terms of the known bioreactor variables ε, the rate of turbulent power dissipation, and ν, the fluid kinematic viscosity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large deformations of a cylindrical liquid-filled membrane by a viscous shear flow
TL;DR: In this paper, the steady flow fields generated inside and outside an initially circular, inextensible, cylindrical membrane filled with an incompressible viscous fluid when the membrane is placed in a two-dimensional shear flow of another viscous liquid were considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Constitutive equations of erythrocyte membrane incorporating evolving preferred configuration
TL;DR: The constitutive equations proposed in the present analysis explain in a consistent manner the data on both the deformation and recovery phases of the micropipette experiment on how the membrane viscosity becomes a more dominant feature in tank-treading motion.
