Abstract
We introduce a novel method to study the
fluid-structure interaction between a microcapsule and an external flow. A finite
element method (for the membrane) is coupled with a boundary integral method (for the
internal and external flows) to model the large deformation of the capsule. We find good
agreement with previous results obtained with a solid solver based on the local
equilibrium of the membrane
