abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">Despite its demonstrated importance in the deformation and dynamics of
red blood cells, membrane viscosity has not received the same attention in computational
models as elasticity and bending stiffness. Recent experiments on red blood cells
indicated a power law response due to membrane viscosity. This is potentially much
different from the solid viscoelastic models, such as Kelvin-Voigt and standard linear
solid (SLS), currently used in computation to describe this aspect of the membrane.
Within the context of a framework based on lattice Boltzmann and immersed boundary
methods, we introduce SLS and power law models for membrane viscosity. We
compare how the Kelvin-Voigt (as approximated by SLS) and power law models alter
the deformation and dynamics of a spherical capsule in shear flows.</p>},
