Characterization of erythrocyte membrane tension for hemolysis prediction in complex flows
Hemolysis is a persistent issue with blood-contacting devices. Many experimental and theoretical contributions over the last few decades have increased insight into the mechanisms of hemolysis in both laminar ...
