    Abstract Capsules are liquid droplets enclosed by a thin membrane which can resist shear deformation. They are widely found in nature (e.g. red blood cells) and in numerous applications (e.g. food, cosmetic, biomedical and pharmaceutical industries [1]), where they often flow through a complicated network of tubes or channels: this is the case for RBCs in the human circulation or for artificial capsules flowing through microfluidic devices. Central to these flows is the dynamic motion of capsules at bifurcations, in particular the question of path selection. A good understanding of this problem is indeed needed to… More >
