Gu Xiong : The River
No full textGu Xiong’s installation “The River” is described by O’Brian as a meditation on migrancy and displacement. The author situates the work within the life of the artist, who left China because of political oppression, and the history of the Canadian West, which has marginalized its Chinese inhabitants. Short poetic texts by Gu Xiong in which he identifies with spawning salmon are included. Biographical notes. 19 bibl. ref
Numerical simulation of red blood cells' deformation using SPH method
No full textA numerical simulation method for the Red Blood Cells’ (RBC) deformation is presented in this study. The two-dimensional RBC membrane is modeled by the spring network, where the elastic stretch/compression energy and the bending energy are considered with the constraint of constant RBC surface area. Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method is used to solve the Navier-Stokes equation coupled with the Plasma-RBC membrane and Cytoplasm- RBC membrane interaction. To verify the method, the motion of a single RBC is simulated in Poiseuille flow and compared with the results reported earlier. Typical motion and deformation mechanism of the RBC is observed
Numerical simulation of red blood cells’ motion : a review
No full textThe micro-circulation of blood plays an important role in human body by providing oxygen and nutrients to the cells and removing carbon dioxide and wastes from the cells. This process is greatly affected by the rheological properties of the Red Blood Cells (RBCs). Changes in the rheological properties of the RBCs are caused by certain human diseases such as malaria and sickle cell diseases. Therefore it is important to understand the motion and deformation mechanism of RBCs in order to diagnose and treat this kind of diseases. Although, many methods have been developed to explore the behavior of the RBCs in micro-channels, they could not explain the deformation mechanism of the RBCs properly. Recently developed Particle Methods are employed to explain the RBCs’ behavior in micro-channels more comprehensively. The main objective of this study is to critically analyze the present methods, used to model the RBC behavior in micro-channels, in order to develop a computationally efficient particle based model to describe the complete behavior of the RBCs in micro-channels accurately and comprehensivel
