      abstract     = {The shape changes and clustering of red blood cells (RBCs)
                      under flow in cylindrical microcapillaries are studied using
                      a triangulated surface model for the membrane and a
                      particle-based mesoscopic simulation technique for the
                      embedding fluid. As the flow velocity increases, the RBCs
                      make a transition from a discocyte shape at low velocities
                      to a parachute shape at high velocities; close to the
                      critical flow velocity, the RBC can also be found in a
                      transient slipper shape. The transition and critical flow
                      velocity are examined for various capillary diameters and
                      RBC volume fractions (hematocrit H-T). At high flow
                      velocities and low hematocrits, the parachute-shaped RBCs
                      can be found in clusters which are hydrodynamically
                      stabilized. Here, the formation of a fluid vortex between
                      neighboring cells, called bolus, develops which keeps the
                      cells at a preferred distance. Decreasing the flow velocity
                      towards the critical velocity, we observe an increasing
                      frequency of drastic RBC shape fluctuations to
                      slipper-shaped RBCs that can result in cluster breakup.
                      These clusters resemble those seen in experiments using
                      optical microscopy.},
