Micro-Capsules in Shear Flow
Reimar Finken, Steffen Kessler, Udo Seifert
This paper deals with flow-induced shape transitions of elastic capsules. The state of the art concerning both theory and experiments is briefly reviewed starting with dynamically…
Elastic capsules in shear flow: Analytical solutions for constant and time-dependent shear rates
Steffen Kessler, Reimar Finken, Udo Seifert
We investigate the dynamics of microcapsules in linear shear flow within a reduced model with two degrees of freedom. In previous work for steady shear flow, the dynamic phases of…
Two-Dimensional Fluctuating Vesicles in Linear Shear Flow
Reimar Finken, Antonio Lamura, Udo Seifert +1
The stochastic motion of a two-dimensional vesicle in linear shear flow is studied at finite temperature. In the limit of small deformations from a circle, Langevin-type equations…
Swinging and tumbling of elastic capsules in shear flow
S. Kessler, R. Finken, U. Seifert
The deformation of an elastic micro-capsule in an infinite shear flow is studied numerically using a spectral method. The shape of the capsule and the hydrodynamic flow field are e…
Adhesion of microcapsules
Peter Graf, Reimar Finken, Udo Seifert
The adhesion of microcapsules to an attractive contact potential is studied theoretically. The axisymmetric shape equations are solved numerically. Beyond a universal threshold str…
Wrinkling of microcapsules in shear flow
Reimar Finken, Udo Seifert
Elastic capsules can exhibit short wavelength wrinkling in external shear flow. We analyse this instability of the capsule shape and use the length scale separation between the cap…
