A percolation model for slow dynamics in glass-forming materials
Gregg Lois, Jerzy Blawzdziewicz, Corey S. O'Hern
We identify a link between the glass transition and percolation of mobile regions in configuration space. We find that many hallmarks of glassy dynamics, for example stretched-expo…
Lubrication approximation for micro-particles moving along parallel walls
M. L. Ekiel-Jezewska, E. Wajnryb, J. Blawzdziewicz +1
Lubrication expressions for the friction coefficients of a spherical particle moving in a fluid between and along two parallel solid walls are explicitly evaluated in the low-Reyno…
A minimal model for kinetic arrest
Prasanta Pal, Corey S. O'Hern, Jerzy Blawzdziewicz +1
To elucidate slow dynamics in glassy materials, we introduce the {\it Figure-8 model} in which hard blocks undergo Brownian motion around a circuit in the shape of a figure-8.…
An analysis of the far-field response to external forcing of a suspension in Stokes flow in a parallel-wall channel
J. Blawzdziewicz, E. Wajnryb
The leading-order far-field scattered flow produced by a particle in a parallel-wall channel under creeping flow conditions has a form of the parabolic velocity field driven by a 2…
Effect of small particles on the near-wall dynamics of a large particle in a highly bidisperse colloidal solution
S. Bhattacharya, J. Blawzdziewicz
We consider the hydrodynamic effect of small particles on the dynamics of a much larger particle moving normal to a planar wall in a highly bidisperse dilute colloidal suspension o…
Reliable protein folding on non-funneled energy landscapes: the free energy reaction path
Gregg Lois, Jerzy Blawzdziewicz, Corey S. O'Hern
A theoretical framework is developed to study the dynamics of protein folding. The key insight is that the search for the native protein conformation is influenced by the rate r at…
