This movie shows dynamics of a single deformable droplet in a channel with two different circular cross sections. It is seen that an initially spherical deformable droplet, positioned upstream at the channel centerline, is elongating in the entrance region and then it is moving downstream and gradually deforming until it obtains an equilibrium bullet shape.
