Abstract
Numerical calculations were carried out to reveal both velocity and oxygen concentration fields around a red blood cell. It is well-known that the cell changes its shape and orientation, as it flows in a capillary. The mass and momentum conservation equations for the blood plasma were solved along with the oxygen transport equation. The effects of the shape of the red blood cell on the velocity and oxygen concentration fields are numerically investigated using a numerical model consisting of the blood plasma, red cell and capillary wall.
