Equilibrium configurations of hard spheres in a cylindrical harmonic potential
Jens Winkelmann, Adil Mughal, Denis Weaire +1
A line of hard spheres confined by a transverse harmonic potential, with hard walls at its ends, exhibits a variety of buckled structures as it is compressed longitudinally. Here w…
Demonstration and interpretation of "scutoid" cells in a quasi-2D soap froth
A. Mughal, S. J. Cox, D. Weaire +2
Recently a novel type of epithelial cell has been discovered and dubbed the "scutoid". It is induced by curvature of the bounding surfaces. We show by simulations and experiments t…
Ideal wet two-dimensional foams and emulsions with finite contact angle
S. J. Cox, A. M. Kraynik, D. Weaire +1
We present simulations that show that an ideal two-dimensional foam with a finite contact angle develops an inhomogeneity for high liquid fraction . In liquid-liquid emulsions t…
Simulation and observation of line-slip structures in columnar structures of soft spheres
Jens Winkelmann, Benjamin Haffner, Denis Weaire +2
We present the computed phase diagram of columnar structures of soft spheres under pressure, of which the main feature is the appearance and disappearance of line slips, the sheari…
