The assumption that blood adheres to vessel walls, the ``no-slip'' boundary condition, is an essential premise of cardiovascular fluid dynamics. Yet, whether it holds true \emph{in vivo} has not been established. Using 4D flow magnetic…

A fluid droplet in general deforms, if subject to active driving, such as a finite slip velocity or active tractions on its interface. We show that these deformations and their dynamics can be computed analytically in a perturbation theory…
