Squeezing multiple soft particles into a constriction: transition to clogging
Clément Bielinski, Othmane Aouane, Jens Harting +1
We study numerically how multiple deformable capsules squeeze into a constriction. This situation is largely encountered in microfluidic chips designed to manipulate living cells,…
Forced transport of deformable containers through narrow constrictions
Remy Kusters, Thijs van der Heijden, Badr Kaoui +2
We study, numerically and analytically, the forced transport of deformable containers through a narrow constriction. Our central aim is to quantify the competition between the cons…
Interplay between microdynamics and macrorheology in vesicle suspensions
Badr Kaoui, Ruben J. W. Jonk, Jens Harting
The microscopic dynamics of objects suspended in a fluid determines the macroscopic rheology of a suspension. For example, as shown by Danker and Misbah [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 98},…
Interplay of inertia and deformability on rheological properties of a suspension of capsules
Timm Krueger, Badr Kaoui, Jens Harting
The interplay of inertia and deformability has a substantial impact on the transport of soft particles suspended in a fluid. However, to date a thorough understanding of these syst…
Complex Dynamics of a Bilamellar Vesicle as a Simple Model for Leukocytes
Badr Kaoui, Timm Krüger, Jens Harting
The influence of the internal structure of a biological cell (e.g., a leukocyte) on its dynamics and rheology is not yet fully understood. By using 2D numerical simulations of a bi…
Numerical simulations of complex fluid-fluid interface dynamics
Timm Krüger, Stefan Frijters, Florian Günther +2
Interfaces between two fluids are ubiquitous and of special importance for industrial applications, e.g., stabilisation of emulsions. The dynamics of fluid-fluid interfaces is diff…
