Computational Modeling Of Hemoglobin Saturation Heterogeneity In Capillary Networks

This repository contains the C++ code based on OpenFOAM used for simulating oxygen transport with moving red blood cells. The OpenFOAM cases used to generate all results in the research article "The heterogeneity of hemoglobin saturation in capillaries and its relation to red blood cell transit time" are included. The archive 'code-axisymmetric.tgz' contains the code for the simulations in axisymmetric domains. This code works with OpenFOAM 2.1.1. The archive 'code-parallel_capillaries.tgz' contains the code for the simulations with parallel capillaries. This code is based on OpenFOAM 2.3.0. The archive 'code-graph.tgz' contains the simulation code for the simulations in reconstructed capillary networks. The postprocessing and plotting script are also in this archive. This code is based on OpenFOAM 2.3.0. The archive 'code-flow_reconstruction.tgz' contains the code for the flow reconstruction algorithm. The remaining archives contain the OpenFOAM cases that were used to run the oxygen transport simulations reported in the research article "The Heterogeneity of Hemoglobin Saturation in Capillary Networks and its Relation to Red Blood Cell Transit Time".
