Statistical Dynamics of Flowing Red Blood Cells by Morphological Image Processing
Figure 3
Cellular-scale dynamics.
The top panel (a) shows average fluctuations in squared cellular displacement as a function of time (e.g., 〈Δr2(τ)〉) with x- and y-axes defined in the top panel of Figure 1. The middle panel (b) shows the nature of the collective microscopic dynamics characterized by 
(see text). The dynamics are diffusive for Vbulk>50 µm/s. Error bars show medians and standard deviations for binned data. The bottom panel (c) compares cellular-scale dynamics to cellular volume fraction and shows that density variation in this range has no effect on the nature of cellular scale dynamics.
