Equilibrium fluctuations of a quasi-spherical vesicle: role of the membrane dissipation
Petia M. Vlahovska, Rony Granek
We theoretically investigate the thermally-driven curvature and lipid density fluctuations of a quasi-spherical vesicle, accounting for the dissipation due to monolayer viscosity a…
Electrohydrodynamic drift of a drop away from an insulating wall
Diptendu Sen, Mohammadhossein Firouznia, David Saintillan +1
An isolated charge-neutral drop suspended in an unbounded medium does not migrate in a uniform DC electric field. A nearby wall breaks the symmetry and causes the drop to drift tow…
Renormalized mechanics and stochastic thermodynamics of growing vesicles
Jordan L. Shivers, Michael Nguyen, Aaron R. Dinner +2
Uncovering the rules governing the nonequilibrium dynamics of the membranes that define biological cells is of central importance to understanding the physics of living systems. We…
Turbulent-like flows in quasi two-dimensional dense suspensions of motile colloids
Rui Luo, Alexey Snezhko, Petia M. Vlahovska
Dense bacterial suspensions exhibit turbulent-like flows at low Reynolds numbers, driven by the activity of the microswimmers. In this study, we develop a model system to examine t…
Diffuse-charge dynamics across a capacitive interface in a DC electric field
Shuozhen Zhao, Bhavya Balu, Zongxin Yu +2
Cells and cellular organelles are encapsulated by nanometrically thin membranes whose main component is a lipid bilayer. In the presence of electric fields, the ion-impermeable lip…
Instability of a fluctuating biomimetic membrane driven by an applied uniform DC electric field
Zongxin Yu, Shuozhen Zhao, Michael J. Miksis +1
The linear stability of a lipid membrane under a DC electric field, applied perpendicularly to the interface, is investigated in the electrokinetic framework, taking into account t…
