This paper considers iterative detection and decoding on the concatenated communication channel consisting of a two-dimensional magnetic recording (TDMR) channel modeled by the four-grain rectangular discrete grain model (DGM) proposed by Kavcic et. al., followed by a two-dimensional intersymbol interference (2D-ISI) channel modeled by linear convolution of the DGM model’s output with a finite-...

The near-wall enrichment of platelets strongly influences thrombus formation in vivo and in vitro . This paper develops a multi-constituent continuum approach to study this phenomenon. A mixture theory model is used to describe the motion of plasma and red blood cells (RBCs) and the interactions between the two components. A transport model is developed to study the influence of the RBCs field ...
