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…
Theory of cylindrical dense packings of disks
Adil Mughal, Denis Weaire
We have previously explored cylindrical packings of disks and their relation to sphere packings. Here we extend the analytical treatment of disk packings, analysing the rules for p…
Phyllotactic description of hard sphere packing in cylindrical channels
Adil Mughal, Ho Kei Chan, Denis Weaire
We develop a simple analytical theory that relates dense sphere packings in a cylinder to corresponding disk packings on its surface. It applies for ratios R=D/d (where d and D are…
