| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
For elucidation of effects of the deformation of the red blood cell membranes in unsteady motion on the mass transfer in a capillary with complex geometry, the analysis codes of the fluid-membrane coupling and the mass transfer across the membrane have been developed. The level set method is introduced for the extension to three-dimensional analyses, and the computational algorism for high volume conservation of the fluid inside the red blood cell is implemented. The elucidation of the effects of the deformation of the red blood cell membrane on the capacity of mass diffusion remains as the future work.
