The flow of capsules suspended in a liquid phase through small channels and capillaries poses a complex problem presented in different applications, from red blood cells on hemodynamics to flow in porous media. In applications of porous media, the understanding of microscale dynamics is fundamental to assess the macroscopic flow behavior. Constricted channels and capillaries can be used to model a pore throat connecting two adjacent pore bodies. The flow of a suspended capsule through such models was analyzed to evaluate the flow characteristics considering inertial effects (i.e. finite Reynolds numbers), including the maximum pressure difference required to push a capsule through the constriction as a function of capsule radius, initial membrane tension, membrane material, channel and capillary geometries, as well as flow conditions. In fact, in this study, the pressure response is fundamental in order to assess the capsule blocking mechanism. Inner and outer liquid phases were described by the Navier-Stokes equations and capsule membrane dynamics was modeled by a 1-D spring-like flexible structure. The fluid-structure interaction problem was solved using the finite element method coupled with the immersed boundary method. Results showed the mobility reduction of the continuous phase due to the presence of a capsule as it flows through the constriction. Such results can be used to design microcapsules to block preferential water flow paths in oil displacement process in porous media.
