Abstract
It is well known that the material properties of multicomponent lipid membranes influence of the dynamics of vesicles. In this work computational tools are used to systematically explore the influence of variable membrane properties, such as bending rigidity, spontaneous curvature, and domain line tension, and fluid properties such as increased vesicle viscosity on the dynamics of deflated three-dimensional vesicles. In addition to reproducing various experimental equilibrium results, the results demonstrate rich behaviour when exposed to externally driven fluid flow and external fields.
