On the complex dynamics of a red blood cell in simple shear flow
Petia M. Vlahovska, Yuan-nan Young, Gerrit Danker +1
Motivated by the reported peculiar dynamics of a red blood cell in shear flow, we develop an analytical theory for the motion of a nearly--spherical fluid particle enclosed by a vi…
Vesicles in a Poiseuille flow
Gerrit Danker, Petia Vlahovska, Chaouqi Misbah
Vesicle dynamics in unbounded Poiseuille flow is analyzed using a small-deformation theory. Our analytical results quantitatively describe vesicle migration and provide new physica…
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…
