Concepts

This section explains the ideas behind HemoCell: how the fluid and the cells are modelled and coupled, how physical quantities map onto the simulation’s internal (lattice) units, how a cell is represented and given its mechanical behaviour, and how a simulation is distributed across many processors.

If you just want to run a simulation, start with Setting up HemoCell from source and the Example cases. Come back here when you want to understand why a parameter exists or how to choose its value.
