## Abstract Red blood cells (RBCs) are an essential component of blood. A method to include the particulate nature of blood is introduced here with the goal of studying circulation in largeβscale realistic vessels. The method uses a combination of the Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) to account for t
A compartmental model is developed for oxygen (O(2)) transport in brain microcirculation in the presence of blood substitutes (hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers). The cerebrovascular bed is represented as a series of vascular compartments, on the basis of diameters, surrounded by a tissue compartment
