Shape dynamics of nearly spherical, multicomponent vesicles under shear flow
Anirudh Venkatesh, Vivek Narsimhan
In biology, cells undergo deformations under the action of flow caused by the fluid surrounding them. These flows lead to shape changes and instabilities that have been explored in…
Linear stability of cylindrical, multicomponent vesicles
Anirudh Venkatesh, Aman Bhargava, Vivek Narsimhan
Vesicles are important surrogate structures made up of multiple phospholipids and cholesterol distributed in the form of a lipid bilayer. Tubular vesicles can undergo pearling i.e.…
Sedimentation of spheroids in Newtonian fluids with spatially varying viscosity
Vishal Anand, Vivek Narsimhan
This paper examines the rigid body motion of a spheroid sedimenting in a Newtonian fluid with a spatially varying viscosity field. The fluid is at zero Reynolds number, and the vis…
Dynamics of spheroids in pressure driven flows of shear thinning fluids
Vishal Anand, Vivek Narsimhan
Particles in inertialess flows of shear thinning fluids are a model representation for several systems in biology, ecology, and micro-fluidics.In this paper, we analyze the motion…
Peeling of linearly elastic sheets using complex fluids at low Reynolds numbers
Anirudh Venkatesh, Vishal Anand, Vivek Narsimhan
We investigate the transient, fluid structure interaction (FSI) of a non-Newtonian fluid peeling two linearly elastic sheets at low Reynolds numbers. Two different non-Newtonian fl…
Vesicle dynamics in large amplitude oscillatory extensional flow
Charlie Lin, Dinesh Kumar, Channing M. Richter +3
Although the behavior of fluid-filled vesicles in steady flows has been extensively studied, far less is understood regarding the shape dynamics of vesicles in time-dependent oscil…
