The lateral migration properties of many cells in Poiseuille flow have been investigated. The authors also combine the above methodology with a distributed Lagrange multiplier/fictitious domain method to simulate the interaction of cells and neutrally buoyant particles in a microchannel for studying the margination of particles.展开更多
