Instabilities in the dissolution of a porous matrix
Piotr Szymczak, Anthony J. C. Ladd
A reactive fluid dissolving the surrounding rock matrix can trigger an instability in the dissolution front, leading to spontaneous formation of pronounced channels or wormholes. T…
The initial stages of cave formation: Beyond the one-dimensional paradigm
Piotr Szymczak, Anthony J. C. Ladd
The solutional origin of limestone caves was recognized over a century ago, but the short penetration length of an undersaturated solution made it seem impossible for long conduits…
A comparison of the static and dynamic properties of a semi-flexible polymer using lattice-Boltzmann and Brownian dynamics simulations
Anthony J. C. Ladd, Rahul Kekre, Jason E. Butler
The aim of this paper is to compare results from lattice-Boltzmann and Brownian dynamics simulations of linear chain molecules. We have systematically varied the parameters that ma…
Wormhole formation in dissolving fractures
P. Szymczak, A. J. C. Ladd
We investigate the dissolution of artificial fractures with three-dimensional, pore-scale numerical simulations. The fluid velocity in the fracture space was determined from a latt…
A symplectic integration method for elastic filaments
Anthony JC Ladd, Gaurav Misra
A new method is proposed for integrating the equations of motion of an elastic filament. In the standard finite-difference and finite-element formulations the continuum equations o…
Progress in the Understanding of the Fluctuating Lattice Boltzmann Equation
Burkhard Duenweg, Ulf D. Schiller, Anthony J. C. Ladd
We give a brief account of the development of methods to include thermal fluctuations into lattice Boltzmann algorithms. Emphasis is put on our recent work (Phys. Rev. E 76, 036704…
