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 …

Cellular architectures are promising in a variety of engineering applications due to attractive
material properties. Additive manufacturing has reduced the difficulty in the fabrication of …

Relative motion between soft wet solids arises in a number of applications in natural and
artificial settings, and invariably couples elastic deformation fluid flow. We explore this in a …

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 …

The wetting of soft elastic substrates exhibits many features that have no counterpart on rigid
surfaces. Modelling the detailed elastocapillary interactions is challenging, and has so far …

Lubrication flows appear in many applications in engineering, biophysics and nature.
Separation of surfaces and minimisation of friction and wear is achieved when the …

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 …

A rigid object moving in a viscous fluid and in close proximity to an elastic wall experiences
self-generated elastohydrodynamic interactions. This has been the subject of intense …
