چکیده

We investigate a mathematical model describing the flow of a liquid in a microchannel. The model incorporates immersed objects in the fluid as well as fixed obstacles and boundaries of the microchannel. Objects can have different elastic properties, including solid objects and deformable objects. The flow description accounts for all types of mechanical interactions: fluid-object, object-object, fluid-walls, and object-walls interactions.
