Abstract: In this paper we propose a lattice Boltzmann model for a parachute shaped red blood cell, a nanobot and a tumor inside a blood capillary. The nanobot delivers Placlitaxel which interacts with the tumor shrinking its size. We perform several simulations and report new phenomena. This is a complex problem due to the multi physics cross-scaling nature of the blood flow, suspended red blood cell, tumor, nanobot and drug (Placlitaxel) involved.
