The first part of the talk will explain how the confinement governs the
capillary-viscous pinching of an elongated bubble in a pinched channel.
In a second part, the talk will review the micro-hydrodynamics of
confined suspensions, where the effective blood viscosity and the phase
separation are two ingredient to call for modelling. We will give an
overview of previously proposed models, as well as some implementation
difficulties arising in complex channels.
