Coarse-graining to create minimalist models for dynamic, end-linked star-polymer networks
Tyla R. Holoman, C. Levi Petix, Michael P. Howard +1
Although minimalist models for patchy attractive particles have revealed powerful design rules for how particle valence directs colloidal assembly, less work has focused on compara…
Axial dispersion in dilute solutions of linear and branched polymers in parallel-plate and expansion-contraction microchannels
C. Levi Petix, Tzortzis Koulaxizis, Griffin D. Overton +2
The axial dispersion of polymers in microchannels depends on an interplay between microchannel geometry, polymer architecture, and hydrodynamics. Here, we investigate the axial dis…
Mesoscale particle-based simulations of flow in expansion-contraction microchannels at low Reynolds number
Tzortzis Koulaxizis, Clara De La Torre Garcia, C. Levi Petix +2
We computationally study the flow of Newtonian fluids through sinusoidal expansion-contraction microchannels at low Reynolds number. We first use a perturbation method to analytica…
Designing binary mixtures of colloidal particles with simple interactions that assemble complex crystals
Beth Hsiao-Yen Wei, C. Levi Petix, Qizan Chen +2
Computational methods for designing interactions between colloidal particles that induce self-assembly have received much attention for their promise to discover tailored materials…
relentless: Transparent, reproducible molecular dynamics simulations for optimization
Adithya N Sreenivasan, C. Levi Petix, Zachary M. Sherman +1
relentless is an open-source Python package that enables the optimization of objective functions computed using molecular dynamics simulations. It has a high-level, extensible inte…
