Hydrodynamic lift of vesicles under shear flow in microgravity
Natacha Callens, Christophe Minetti, Maud-Alix Mader +4
The dynamics of a vesicle suspension in a shear flow between parallel plates has been investigated under microgravity conditions, where vesicles are only submitted to hydrodynamic…
Non-inertial lateral migration of vesicles in bounded Poiseuille flow
Gwennou Coupier, Badr Kaoui, Thomas Podgorski +1
Cross-streamline non-inertial migration of a vesicle in a bounded Poiseuille flow is investigated experimentally and numerically. The combined effects of the walls and of the curva…
Rheology of dilute suspensions of vesicles and red blood cells
Victoria Vitkova, Maud-Alix Mader, Chaouqi Misbah +1
We present rheology experiments on dilute solutions of vesicles and red blood cells (RBC). Varying the viscosity ratio between internal and external fluids, the microscopic dyn…
Dynamics and rheology of a dilute suspension of vesicles: higher order theory
Gerrit Danker, Thierry Biben, Thomas Podgorski +2
Vesicles under shear flow exhibit various dynamics: tank-treading (), tumbling () and vacillating-breathing (). A consistent higher order theory reveals a direct bifurc…
