Lattice Boltzmann Algorithm for three-dimensional liquid crystal hydrodynamics
C. Denniston, D. Marenduzzo, E. Orlandini +1
We describe a lattice Boltzmann algorithm to simulate liquid crystal hydrodynamics in three dimensions. The equations of motion are written in terms of a tensor order parameter. Th…
Rheology of distorted nematic liquid crystals
D. Marenduzzo, E. Orlandini, J. M. Yeomans
We use lattice Boltzmann simulations of the Beris--Edwards formulation of nematodynamics to probe the response of a nematic liquid crystal with conflicting anchoring at the boundar…
Elasticity of semiflexible polymers with and without self-interactions
A. Rosa, T. X. Hoang, D. Marenduzzo +1
A {\it new} formula for the force vs extension relation is derived from the discrete version of the so called {\it worm like chain} model. This formula correctly fits some recent e…
Thermodynamics of DNA packaging inside a viral capsid: the role of DNA intrinsic thickness
Davide Marenduzzo, Cristian Micheletti
We characterize the equilibrium thermodynamics of a thick polymer confined in a spherical region of space. This is used to gain insight into the DNA packaging process. The experime…
Mechanical unfolding of directed polymers in a poor solvent: novel critical exponents
A. Rosa, D. Marenduzzo, A. Maritan +1
We study the thermodynamics of an exactly solvable model of a self-interacting partially directed self-avoiding walk (DSAW) in two dimensions, when a force is applied on one end of…
