Fig. 2.
Vesicles and RBCs in unbounded shear flow. a Trembling (also known as VB or SW), and tumbling vesicle at slightly higher λ. b Inclination angle vs. time and vs. deformation show the transition from trembling to tumbling as λ increases from 6 to 7. Here, Caκ = 6 and reduced volume v = 0.75. Figure is reproduced with permission from (Spann et al. 2014). c Breathing dynamics of an RBC, and d tumbling dynamics. Vectors show the in-plane membrane TT velocities, where the contours present their magnitudes. t* is the dimensionless time defined as γ̇t. Reprinted with permission from Bagchi and Yazdani (2012)
