Blood as mixture -- CFD Online Discussion Forums

meenuu New Member Join Date: Jun 2022 Posts: 2 Rep Power: 0	I am trying to simulate blood as a mixture (two-phase fluid) consisting of Red blood cells and plasma only. I am going for a 2D transient analysis of the microfluidic device and laminar flow regime. Geometry consists of 1 inlet and 5 outlets. I am a beginner and I’m using Fluent, I have the following questions: • Which multiphase model is best suited for the study where I want to treat red blood cells as particles and plasma as a liquid? • Should red blood cells be treated as a discrete phase? Thank you!! Last edited by meenuu; June 7, 2022 at 02:06.
