The targeted delivery to specific locations while not causing damage to healthy tissues
efficiently remains a challenge in drug delivery systems. Through addressing this issue …

Cell membranes are vital to shield a cell's interior from the environment. At the same time
they determine to a large extent the cell's mechanical resistance to external forces. In recent …

We review recent advances in multiscale modeling of the mechanics of healthy and
diseased red blood cells (RBCs), and blood flow in the microcirculation. We cover the …

In this paper, we study the hydrodynamics of a vesicle doublet suspended in an external
viscous fluid flow. Vesicles in this study are modeled using the phase-field model. The …

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 interplay of inertia and deformability has a substantial impact on the transport of soft
particles suspended in a fluid. However, to date a thorough understanding of these systems …

In this paper, we present an isogeometric analysis for studying the dynamical behavior of
inextensible vesicles under an external fluid flow with inertial forces. We consider a phase …

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 …

When certain polymer amphiphiles and phospholipids are dispersed in a liquid, these
molecules combine to form various closed bilayer structures known as multiple vesicles. The …

Smoothed dissipative particle dynamics (SDPD) combines two popular mesoscopic
techniques, the smoothed particle hydrodynamics and dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) …
