Abstract
A theoretical model is used to investigate the effects of flow velocity on the motion of red blood cells in a capillary with an ESL. Cell deformation is analyzed including effects of membrane shear and bending elasticity. Axisymmetric red cell shapes are assumed. The model shows that exclusion of red blood cells from the ESL in flowing capillaries can result from hydrodynamic forces generated by plasma flow through the ESL.
