The capture of a soft spherical particle by a rectangular slit leads to a non-monotonic pressure-flow rate relation at low Reynolds number. In the presence of the trapped particle the flow-induced deformations focus the streamlines and…
Pressure-driven flow collapses when confined ($u\propto r^{2}$). Asymmetry rectifies surface activity (exchange or slip gradients) into axial flux at $\Delta P=0$ despite zero net exchange. Lorentz reciprocity yields a projection law:…
