Simulation of Red Particles in Blood Cell

Abstract:

Red blood cell (RBC) particle detection and counting with characteristics in blood cell systems has been done by computer simulation. A simulation region, including plasma, red blood cells (RBCs) and platelets, was modeled by an assembly of discrete particles. The proposed method has detected the red particle from blood cell systems through different simulations of MATLAB and GAMBIT & FLUENT. After the detection, the number of red particles in a sampled cell has been counted and the characteristics about the red particles for analyzing the Birth-Death growth of each red particle have been found.
