We study dynamics of vesicles with a viscosity contrast between the interior and exterior, and subjected to a linear shear flow. It is shown that the vesicle, which assumes a steady orientation with respect to the shear flow for r=eta(in)/eta(out)= r(c). Tumbling occurs as a saddle-node bifurcation. We present analytical and numerical results. We develop a powerful method, the advected-field approach. This method allows one to treat several different phenomena with great flexibility.
