Stick boundary conditions and rotational velocity auto-correlation functions for colloidal particles in a coarse-grained representation of the solvent
J. T. Padding, H. Löwen, A. Wysocki +1
We show how to implement stick boundary conditions for a spherical colloid in a solvent that is coarse-grained by the method of stochastic rotation dynamics. This allows us to meas…
Mesoscale modeling of the rheology of pressure sensitive adhesives through inclusion of transient forces
J. T. Padding, L. V. Mohite, D. Auhl +2
For optimal application, pressure-sensitive adhesives must have rheological properties in between those of a viscoplastic solid and those of a viscoelastic liquid. Such adhesives c…
The increased efficiency of fish swimming in a school
C. K. Hemelrijk, D. A. P. Reid, H. Hildenbrandt +1
There is increasing evidence that fish gain energetic benefits when they swim in a school. The most recent indications of such benefits are a lower tail (or fin) beat at the back o…
How Peclet number affects microstructure and transient cluster aggregation in sedimenting colloidal suspensions
A. Moncho-Jorda', A. A. Louis, J. T. Padding
We study how varying the P éclet number (Pe) affects the steady state sedimentation of colloidal particles that interact through short-ranged attractions. By employing a hybrid mo…
Force calculation on walls and embedded particles in multiparticle collision dynamics simulations
A. Imperio, J. T. Padding, W. J. Briels
Colloidal solutions posses a wide range of time and length scales, so that it is unfeasible to keep track of all of them within a single simulation. As a consequence some form of c…
Hydrodynamic and Brownian Fluctuations in Sedimenting Suspensions
J. T. Padding, A. A. Louis
We use a mesoscopic computer simulation method to study the interplay between hydrodynamic and Brownian fluctuations during steady-state sedimentation of hard sphere particles for…
