Abstract: | The stochastic motion of a two-dimensional vesicle in linear shear flow is studied at finite temperature. In the limit of
small deformations from a circle, Langevin-type equations of motion are derived, which are highly nonlinear due to the constraint
of constant perimeter length. These equations are solved in the low-temperature limit and using a mean-field approach, in
which the length constraint is satisfied only on average. The constraint imposes non-trivial correlations between the lowest
deformation modes at low temperature. We also simulate a vesicle in a hydrodynamic solvent by using the multi-particle collision
dynamics technique, both in the quasi-circular regime and for larger deformations, and compare the stationary deformation
correlation functions and the time autocorrelation functions with theoretical predictions. Good agreement between theory and
simulations is obtained. |
