The hydrodynamics of fluid drops and cells near a wall

The first part is concerned with fluid-dynamical aspects of biological cell adhesion to a substrate. A mathematical model of a two-dimensional cell immersed in a viscous fluid interacting with a plane adhesive surface is developed. This model is used to explore how viscous stresses and elastic cell...
