Abstract: Compound particles are a class of composite systems in which solid particles encapsulated in a fluid droplet are suspended in another fluid. They are encountered in various natural and biological processes, for e.g., nucleated cells, hydrogels, microcapsules etc. In this work, we analyze the flow in and around a concentric compound particle and investigate the deformation and reorientation dynamics of the confining drop and its stability against breakup in imposed linear flows. We obtain analytical expressions for the flow fields upto O(Ca) (capillary number) and the deformed shape of the confining drop upto O(Ca^2) using a domain perturbation technique. Further, we develop an O(Ca) constitutive equation for the volume-averaged stress for a dilute dispersion of compound particles. Compared to linear theory, O(Ca^2) calculations are found to be important as they make qualitatively different predictions in some linear flows. We find that the strong hydrodynamic interaction between the encapsulated particle and the confining interface results in an increased deformation of the confining drop compared to that of a simple drop, and enhances the rheological quantities such as the effective shear viscosity, extensional viscosity, and normal stress differences in a dilute dispersion. These measures pertaining to particles, drops, and particles coated with a fluid film are also derived as limiting cases of compound particles. Moreover, linear viscoelastic behavior of a dilute dispersion of compound particles is characterized in terms of complex modulus by subjecting the dispersion to a small amplitude oscillatory shear flow.
