The code is designed to be extensible. Adding new material models and cell types, and features is simple! [1]
HemoCell is an open-source code for simulating dense suspensions of deformable cells, focusing on blood. It is based on the combined Immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann method (IB-LBM) and is built on top of the open source C++ lattice Boltzmann solver Palabos.
HemoCell is available as source code under the AGPL v3 license (for details see the file LICENSE in the package). The code can be compiled on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows 10 using the linux subsystem.
A validated two dimensional lattice Boltzmann model for blood plasma with a discrete element method for both red blood cells and platelets coupled by the immersed boundary method. Key properties: Fortran, Parallelized with MPI, Suspension rheology validation, Easily used to test large sets of parameters
We believe that by allowing free access to the community we can further inspire development and distribution so that a large number of scientists can benefit from its capabilities. We hope that you will also find the software useful and encourage you to contribute enhancements and improvements back. If you have questions or remarks about HemoCell, please contact us via e-mail!
