Dynamical heterogeneities close to a colloidal gel
Antonio M. Puertas, Matthias Fuchs, Michael E. Cates
Dynamical heterogeneities in a colloidal fluid close to gelation are studied by means of computer simulations. A clear distinction between some fast particles and the rest, slow on…
Physical and Computational Scaling Issues in Lattice Boltzmann Simulations of Binary Fluid Mixtures
M. E. Cates, J. -C. Desplat, P. Stansell +4
We describe some scaling issues that arise when using lattice Boltzmann methods to simulate binary fluid mixtures -- both in the presence and in the absence of colloidal particles.…
Mode Coupling and Dynamical Heterogeneity in Colloidal Gelation: A Simulation Study
Antonio M. Puertas, Matthias Fuchs, Michael E. Cates
We present simulation results addressing the dynamics of a colloidal system with attractive interactions close to gelation. Our interaction also has a soft, long range repulsive ba…
Equilibrium Onions?
L. Ramos, D. Roux, P. D. Olmsted +1
We demonstrate the possibility of a stable equilibrium multi-lamellar (``onion'') phase in pure lamellar systems (no excess solvent) due to a sufficiently negative Gaussian curvatu…
Simulating Colloid Hydrodynamics with Lattice Boltzmann
M. E. Cates, K. Stratford, R. Adhikari +4
We present a progress report on our work on lattice Boltzmann methods for colloidal suspensions. We focus on the treatment of colloidal particles in binary solvents and on the incl…
Theory and simulation of gelation, arrest and yielding in attracting colloids
M. E. Cates, M. Fuchs, K. Kroy +2
We present some recent theory and simulation results addressing the phenomena of colloidal gelation at both high and low volume fractions, in the presence of short-range attractive…
