DynaCaps: Dynamics of Capsules, Vesicles and Cells in Flow
Encapsulated liquid droplets (capsules, vesicles, and cells) are common in nature and are found in many industrial applications. The aim of the symposium is to bring together theoreticians and experimentalists who work on the mechanics, physics and/or biology of such particles. The open issues include the fabrication of deformable vector particles, their mechanical characterization and optimization, the measurement and numerical simulation of their motion and deformation when subjected to a flow, how to model cells, the relevance of IA and data-driven approaches. The symposium will provide the opportunity to survey the various approaches used to study encapsulated liquid droplet and aims at establishing guidelines for future research.
