VWF extension within a channel cross-section. Distributions of VWF extension in the RBC-flow core and RBC-FL, showing that a significant stretching is achieved mainly in the RBC-FL. 2D simulation for the parameters H t = 0.3 and \({\dot{\gamma }}^{\ast }\approx 29.7\) (\(\bar{\dot{\gamma }}\approx 31\) s−1).
