用二维模型研究了细胞形状不对称对紧密贴合红细胞毛细血管流动的影响。细胞膜被认为是完全柔韧的，不可扩展的，并且内部含有粘性流体。润滑理论用于模拟细胞和壁之间的箭头间隙中的流动。不对称的细胞形状显然会导致膜的踏槽运动，也会降低维持给定细胞速度所需的驱动压力。
The effect of asymmetry of cell shape on capillary flow of tightly fitting red blood cells is examined by using a 2-dimensional model. The cell membrane is assumed to be perfectly flexible and inextensible and to contain a viscous fluid interior. Lubrication theory is used to model the flow in the arrow gaps between the cell and the wall. Asymmetric cell shapes apparently lead to tank-treading motion of the membrane and also to a reduction in the driving pressure required to sustain a given cell velocity.
