Wrinkling of vesicles during transient dynamics in elongational flow.
Recent experiments by Kantsler et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 178102 (2007)10.1103/PhysRevLett.99.178102] have shown that the relaxational dynamics of a vesicle in external elongation flow is accompanied by the formation of wrinkles on a membrane. Motivated by these experiments we present a theory describing the dynamics of a wrinkled membrane. The formation of wrinkles is related to the dynamica...
متن کاملWrinkling dynamics of fluctuating vesicles in time-dependent viscous flow.
We study the fully nonlinear, nonlocal dynamics of two-dimensional vesicles in a time-dependent, incompressible viscous flow at finite temperature. We focus on a transient instability that can be observed when the direction of applied flow is suddenly reversed, which induces compressive forces on the vesicle interface, and small-scale interface perturbations known as wrinkles develop. These wri...
متن کاملSingle polymer dynamics in an elongational flow.
The stretching of individual polymers in a spatially homogeneous velocity gradient was observed through use of fluorescently labeled DNA molecules. The probability distribution of molecular extension was determined as a function of time and strain rate. Although some molecules reached steady state, the average extension did not, even after a approximately 300-fold distortion of the underlying f...
متن کاملWrinkling instability of vesicles in steady linear flow
We present experimental observations and numerical simulations of a wrinkling instability that occurs at sufficiently high strain rates in the trembling regime of vesicle dynamics in steady linear flow. Spectral and statistical analysis of the data shows similarities and differences with the wrinkling instability observed earlier for vesicles in transient elongation flow. The critical relevance...
متن کاملDynamics of transient pores in stretched vesicles.
We image macroscopic transient pores in mechanically stretched giant vesicles. Holes open above a critical radius r(c1), grow up to a radius r(c2), and close. We interpret the upper limit r(c2) by a relaxation of the membrane tension as the holes expand. The closing of the holes is caused by a further relaxation of the surface tension when the internal liquid leaks out. A dynamic model fits our...
