Kinetic Event-Chain Algorithm for Active Matter
Nico Schaffrath, Thevashangar Sathiyanesan, Tobias A. Kampmann +1
We present a cluster kinetic Monte-Carlo algorithm for active matter systems of self-propelled particles with special focus on steric interactions. The kinetic event-chain algorith…
Pressure-deformation relations of elasto-capillary drops (droploons) on capillaries
Gaël Ginot, Felix S. Kratz, Friedrich Walzel +4
Simple analytical relations for predicting pressure-deformation relations of drops/bubbles on capillaries with elastocapillary interfaces confirmed by Surface Evolver simulations.
Event-Chain Monte-Carlo Simulations of Dense Soft Matter Systems
Tobias A. Kampmann, David Müller, Clemens Franz Vorsmann +2
We discuss the rejection-free event-chain Monte-Carlo algorithm and several applications to dense soft matter systems. Event-chain Monte-Carlo is an alternative to standard local M…
Snapping elastic disks as microswimmers: swimming at low Reynolds numbers by shape hysteresis
Christian Wischnewski, Jan Kierfeld
We illustrate a concept for shape-changing microswimmers, which exploits the hysteresis of a shape transition of an elastic object, by an elastic disk undergoing cyclic localized s…
Surfactant-loaded capsules as Marangoni microswimmers at the air-water interface: Symmetry breaking and spontaneous propulsion by surfactant diffusion and advection
Hendrik Ender, Ann-Kathrin Froin, Heinz Rehage +1
We present a realization of a fast interfacial Marangoni microswimmer by a half-spherical alginate capsule at the air-water interface, which diffusively releases water-soluble spre…
Chaining of hard disks in nematic needles: particle-based simulation of colloidal interactions in liquid crystals
David Müller, Tobias A. Kampmann, Jan Kierfeld
Colloidal particles suspended in liquid crystals can exhibit various effective anisotropic interactions that can be tuned and utilized in self-assembly processes. We simulate a two…
