Using the Poisson-bracket method, we derive continuum equations for a fluid of deformable particles in two dimensions. Particle shape is quantified in terms of two continuum fields: an anisotropy density field that captures the deformations of individual particles from regular shapes and a shape tensor density field that quantifies both particle elongation and nematic alignment of elongated shapes. We explicitly consider the example of a dense biological tissue as described by the Vertex model energy, where cell shape has been proposed as a structural order parameter for a liquid-solid transition. The hydrodynamic model of biological tissue proposed here captures the coupling of cell shape to flow and provides a starting point for modeling the rheology of dense tissue.
