One characteristic feature of soft matter systems is their strong response to external stimuli.
As a consequence they are comparatively easily driven out of their ground state and out of …

In this review, we describe and analyze a mesoscale simulation method for fluid flow, which
was introduced by Malevanets and Kapral in 1999, and is now called multi-particle collision …

Microcapsules are reviewed with special emphasis on the relevance of controlled
mechanical properties for functional aspects. At first, assembly strategies are presented that …

The rheology of suspensions of soft particles, such as red blood cells, is a long-standing
problem in science and engineering due to the complex interplay between deformable …

The migration of a suspended vesicle in an unbounded Poiseuille flow is investigated
numerically in the low Reynolds number limit. We consider the situation without viscosity …

We develop an analytical theory to explain the experimentally observed morphological
transitions of quasispherical giant vesicles induced by alternating electric fields. The model …

We have performed direct numerical simulation (DNS) of a lipid vesicle under Stokes flow
conditions in simple shear flow. The lipid membrane is modelled as a two-dimensional …

Il est bien connu que les globules rouges forment des agrégats, connus sous le nom de
rouleaux. Il est souvent admis que ce phénomène d'agrégation est réversible, mais …

We review the dynamical behavior of giant fluid vesicles in various types of external
hydrodynamic flow. The interplay between stresses arising from membrane elasticity …

The study of vesicles under flow, a model system for red blood cells (RBCs), is an essential
step in understanding various intricate dynamics exhibited by RBCs in vivo and in vitro …
