Swirling and snaking, 3D oscillatory bifurcations of vesicle dynamics in microcirculation
Jinming Lyu, Paul G. Chen, Alexander Farutin +3
Vesicles are soft elastic bodies with distinctive mechanical properties such as bending resistance, membrane fluidity, and their strong ability to deform, mimicking some properties…
Effect of pulse width on the dynamics of a deflated vesicle in unipolar and bipolar pulsed electric fields
Sudip Das, Marc Jaeger, Marc Leonetti +2
Giant unilamellar vesicles subjected to pulsed direct-current (pulsed-DC) fields are promising biomimetic systems to investigate the electroporation of cells. In strong electric fi…
Thermocapillary flow transition in an evaporating liquid layer in a heated cylindrical cell
Wenjun Liu, Paul G. Chen, Jalil Ouazzani +1
Motived by recent ground-based and microgravity experiments investigating the interfacial dynamics of a volatile liquid (FC-72, ) contained in a heated cylindrical cell,…
An isogeometric boundary element method for soft particles flowing in microfluidic channels
J. M. Lyu, Paul G. Chen, G. Boedec +2
Understanding the flow of deformable particles such as liquid drops, synthetic capsules and vesicles, and biological cells confined in a small channel is essential to a wide range…
Shape transition and hydrodynamics of vesicles in tube flow
Paul G. Chen, J. M. Lyu, M. Jaeger +1
The steady motion and deformation of a lipid-bilayer vesicle translating through a circular tube in low Reynolds number pressure-driven flow are investigated numerically using an a…
