Soft bodies flowing in a channel often exhibit parachutelike shapes usually attributed to an
increase of hydrodynamic constraint (viscous stress and/or confinement). We show that the
presence of a fluid membrane leads to the reverse phenomenon and build a phase diagram
of shapes—which are classified as bullet, croissant, and parachute—in channels of varying
aspect ratio. Unexpectedly, shapes are relatively wider in the narrowest direction of the
channel. We highlight the role of flow patterns on the membrane in this response to the …
Soft bodies flowing in a channel often exhibit parachutelike shapes usually attributed to an increase of hydrodynamic constraint (viscous stress and/or confinement). We show that the presence of a fluid membrane leads to the reverse phenomenon and build a phase diagram of shapes—which are classified as bullet, croissant, and parachute—in channels of varying aspect ratio. Unexpectedly, shapes are relatively wider in the narrowest direction of the channel. We highlight the role of flow patterns on the membrane in this response to the asymmetry of stress distribution.
