To eliminate the kinetic influence of the dosing itself on the turbulent channel flow, we gradually dosed the surfactant solution. The dosing velocity, U d, was varied from 2.0 × 10 − 4 to 8.0 × 10 − ...

where φ con is the angle between the diagonal line of the RBC and the point where the cells make contact, along the flow direction, see Figure 1.Given the morphology of the RBC, φ con ≈ arctan(1 µm/3 ...

It is hypothesized that the shear-induced homogenization is due to the shear forces that exceed the intermolecular forces of the self-association process of the gelatin. The isothermal phase diagram ...
