Interactions between fluid flow and elastic structures are important in many naturally
occurring and engineered systems. This review collects and organizes recent theoretical …

Lift forces are widespread in hydrodynamics. These are typically observed for big and fast
objects and are often associated with a combination of fluid inertia (ie large Reynolds …

In the study of fluid dynamics and transport phenomena, key quantities of interest are often
the force and torque on objects and total rate of heat/mass transfer from them …

Elastohydrodynamic lubrication, or simply soft lubrication, refers to the motion of deformable
objects near a boundary lubricated by a fluid, and is one of the key physical mechanisms to …

We consider a cylinder immersed in viscous fluid moving near a flat substrate covered by an
incompressible viscoelastic fluid layer, and study the effect of the fluid viscoelasticity on the …

We study experimentally the motion of nondeformable microbeads in a linear shear flow
close to a wall bearing a thin and soft polymer layer. Combining microfluidics and 3D optical …

The motion of an object within a viscous fluid and in the vicinity of a soft surface induces a
hydrodynamic stress field that deforms the latter, thus modifying the boundary conditions of …

When an object suspended in fluid moves past a soft substrate it experiences an additional
lift force due to the deformability of the substrate. In this work we find this lift force analytically …

Winkler's mattress model is often used as a simplified model to understand how a thin elastic
layer, such as a coating, deforms when subject to a distributed normal load: the deformation …

The hydrodynamic flow field generated by self-propelled active particles and swimming
microorganisms is strongly altered by the presence of nearby boundaries in a viscous flow …
