Abstract
Our work is set in the area of microfluidics, and deals with behavior of fluid and blood cells in microfluidic devices. The aim of this article is to validate our numerical model of red blood cell. This is done by comparing computer simulation with existing laboratory experiment. The experiment is exploring the velocity and deformation of blood cells in a hyperbolic microchannel. Our research confirms that the deformation of the red blood cell in the simulation is comparable with the results from the experiment, as long as the fluid velocity profile in the simulation fits the fluid velocity profile of the experiment. This validates the elastic parameters of the red blood cell model.
