An extensible lattice Boltzmann method for viscoelastic flows: complex and moving boundaries in Oldroyd-B fluids
Michael Kuron, Cameron Stewart, Joost de Graaf +1
Most biological fluids are viscoelastic, meaning that they have elastic properties in addition to the dissipative properties found in Newtonian fluids. Computational models can hel…
A Lattice Boltzmann Model for Squirmers
Michael Kuron, Philipp Stärk, Christian Burkard +2
The squirmer is a simple yet instructive model for microswimmers, which employs an effective slip velocity on the surface of a spherical swimmer to describe its self-propulsion. We…
waLBerla: A block-structured high-performance framework for multiphysics simulations
Martin Bauer, Sebastian Eibl, Christian Godenschwager +8
Programming current supercomputers efficiently is a challenging task. Multiple levels of parallelism on the core, on the compute node, and between nodes need to be exploited to mak…
ESPResSo 4.0 -- An Extensible Software Package for Simulating Soft Matter Systems
Florian Weik, Rudolf Weeber, Kai Szuttor +7
ESPResSo 4.0 is an extensible simulation package for research on soft matter. This versatile molecular dynamics program was originally developed for coarse-grained simulations of c…
Hydrodynamic Mobility Reversal of Squirmers near Flat and Curved Surfaces
Michael Kuron, Philipp Stärk, Christian Holm +1
Self-propelled particles have been experimentally shown to orbit spherical obstacles and move along surfaces. Here, we theoretically and numerically investigate this behavior for a…
Moving Charged Particles in Lattice Boltzmann-Based Electrokinetics
Michael Kuron, Georg Rempfer, Florian Schornbaum +4
The motion of ionic solutes and charged particles under the influence of an electric field and the ensuing hydrodynamic flow of the underlying solvent is ubiquitous in aqueous coll…
