Rheology and structure of a suspension of deformable particles in plane Poiseuille flow
Vassanti Audemar, Thomas Podgorski, Gwennou Coupier
We present an experimental study of the rheology and structure of a confined suspension of deformable particles flowing in a quasi-two-dimensional Poiseuille flow. Thanks to a prec…
Predicting optimal hematocrit in silico
Alexander Farutin, Zaiyi Shen, Gael Prado +9
Optimal hematocrit maximizes oxygen transport. In healthy humans, the average hematocrit is in the range of 40-45, but it can significantly change in blood pathologie…
Shape diagram of vesicles in Poiseuille flow
Gwennou Coupier, Alexander Farutin, Christophe Minetti +2
Soft bodies flowing in a channel often exhibit parachute-like shapes usually attributed to an increase of hydrodynamic constraint (viscous stress and/or confinement). We show that…
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…
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…
