Features







High-performance

Detailed cellular simulations are computationally demanding. The code was built with efficiency and performance in mind. HemoCell has excellent scaling from laptops to over 300,000 cores [1,2,3].

Validated

Both single cell mechanical behaviour and blood rheology were validated with experiments [4], and evaluated through uncertainty quantification [5].

Extensible

The code is designed to be easily extensible. Adding new material models and cell types, and interactions is simple [6].

Advanced features

HemoCell has several advanced features such as internal cell structure, continuous cell inflow boundary, Lees-Edwards boundary, Load-Balancing. [7,8]
