Modifying "parachuting.cpp" to Apply Gravity Force to Cell in HemoCell

[Mansoor-Jadidi-2023]

Hello, HemoCell Community,

I hope this message finds you all well. I am delighted to participate in this helpful discussion for the first time.

My goal is to utilise the "Parachuting" example in HemoCell as a starting point for my project. However, I am eager to make some specific modifications.
Currently, my focus lies on applying the gravity force to the cell. To achieve this, I have already reoriented the tube and RBC in the "Parachuting" example, and I have disabled the Poiseuille force used to act on the fluid.
While I have made these initial changes, I am now seeking advice and suggestions from the experienced members of this community on how to proceed further. Specifically, I would greatly appreciate your insights on how to apply the gravity force to the cell while disregarding the driving force acting on the fluid.

I want to express my gratitude in advance to anyone who can spare their valuable time and knowledge to help me with this matter.
Thank you all for creating such a supportive community, and I look forward to your kind assistance.

With kind regards,
Mansoor

Hi,

For this kind of implementation look at the Palabos forums. Because HemoCell's fluid part uses Palabos. For example:
