Abstract
We have proposed a new method to model an erythrocyte by using drag points and springs as an altanative way to analyze a blood flow. In this paper, a blood flow in a small artery with stenosis is simulated by means of DEM. It is found that erythrocyte is strongly deformed around the stenosis and that the vortex downstream of stenosis weakened by erythrocytes.
