The rheology of dense red blood cell suspensions is investigated via computer simulations based on the lattice Boltzmann, and the finite element methods. The red blood cells are treated as extended and deformable particles immersed in the ambient fluid. In this title, first part discusses the numerical model and strategies for stress evaluation.
