An Efficient Constant-Coefficient MSAV Scheme for Computing Vesicle Growth and Shrinkage
Zhiwei Zhang, Shuwang Li, John Lowengrub +1
We present a fast, unconditionally energy-stable numerical scheme for simulating vesicle deformation under osmotic pressure using a phase-field approach. The model couples an Allen…
Membrane Heterogeneity Driven Dynamics of Multicomponent Vesicles in Shear Flow
Shuqi Tang, Steven M. Wise, John Lowengrub +1
Despite their significance in biology and materials science, the dynamics of multicomponent vesicles under shear flow remain poorly understood because of their nonlinear and strong…
Chemomechanical regulation of growing tissues from a thermodynamically-consistent framework and its application to tumor spheroid growth
Nonthakorn Olaranont, Chaozhen Wei, John Lowengrub +1
It is widely recognized that reciprocal interactions between cells and their microenvironment, via mechanical forces and biochemical signaling pathways, regulate cell behaviors dur…
Phase field modeling and computation of vesicle growth or shrinkage
Xiaoxia Tang, Shuwang Li, John S. Lowengrub +1
We present a phase field model for vesicle growth or shrinkage induced by an osmotic pressure due to a chemical potential gradient. The model consists of an Allen-Cahn equation des…
Numerical study on viscous fingering using electric fields in a Hele-Shaw cell
Meng Zhao, Pedro Anjos, John Lowengrub +2
We investigate the nonlinear dynamics of a moving interface in a Hele-Shaw cell subject to an in-plane applied electric field. We develop a spectrally accurate boundary integral me…
Electrically-controlled self-similar evolution of viscous fingering patterns in radial Hele-Shaw flows
Pedro H. A. Anjos, Meng Zhao, John Lowengrub +1
Time-dependent injection strategies are commonly employed to control the number of viscous fingers emerging at the interface separating two fluids during radial displacement in Hel…
