Discretization strategies for colloidal particles in multiparticle collision dynamics simulations
Michaela Bush, Michael P. Howard
Discrete models are frequently used in multiparticle dynamics simulations to capture hydrodynamic interactions between colloidal particles and the solvent as well as to represent a…
Simulating hydrodynamic interactions in colloidal suspensions using multiparticle collision dynamics with rigid-body constraints
Michaela Bush, Jeremy C. Palmer, Michael P. Howard
We develop a method for simulating colloidal suspensions using multiparticle collision dynamics (MPCD) with a discrete particle model represented as a rigid body. The key steps for…
Transport properties of monodisperse and bidisperse hard-sphere colloidal suspensions from multiparticle collision dynamics simulations
Michael P. Howard
The shear viscosities, long-time self-diffusion coefficients, and sedimentation velocities in monodisperse and bidisperse hard-sphere colloidal suspensions are simulated for volume…
Inverse design of drying-induced assembly of multicomponent colloidal-particle films using surrogate models
Mayukh Kundu, Michaela Bush, Chris A. Kieslich +1
The properties of films assembled by drying colloidal-particle suspensions depend sensitively on both the particles and the processing conditions, making them challenging to engine…
Approximation of anisotropic pair potentials using multivariate interpolation
Mohammadreza Fakhraei, Chris A. Kieslich, Michael P. Howard
The interaction between two particles with shape or interaction anisotropy can be modeled using a pairwise potential energy function that depends on their relative position and ori…
Exploring the role of hydrodynamic interactions in spherically-confined drying colloidal suspensions
Mayukh Kundu, Kritika Kritika, Yashraj M. Wani +2
We study the distribution of colloidal particles confined in drying spherical droplets using both dynamic density functional theory (DDFT) and particle-based simulations. In partic…
