Abstract
⺠Dynamics of a capsule in moderate Re Poiseuille flow were explored numerically. ⺠Capsule tends to tumbling motion for larger membrane elasticity and higher Re flow. ⺠Capsule undergoes swinging motion for larger size and aspect ratio of the capsule. ⺠Capsule tends to migrate to a specific lateral equilibrium as Re increases. ⺠Equilibrium position varies differently around the transition of the dynamic motion.
