Nearly spherical vesicles in an external flow
V. V. Lebedev, K. S. Turitsyn, S. S. Vergeles
Tank-treading, tumbling and trembling are different types of the vesicle behavior in an external flow. We derive a dynamical equation for nearly spherical vesicles enabling to esta…
Dynamics of wrinkles on a vesicle in external flow
K. S. Turitsyn, S. S. Vergeles
Recent experiments by Kantsler et. al. (2007) have shown that the relaxational dynamics of a vesicle in external elongation flow is accompanied by the formation of wrinkles on a me…
Numerical study of polymer tumbling in linear shear flows
A. Puliafito, K. Turitsyn
We investigate numerically the dynamics of a single polymer in a linear shear flow. The effects of thermal fluctuations and randomly fluctuating velocity gradients are both analyze…
Polymers in linear shear flow: a numerical study
A. Celani, A. Puliafito, K. Turitsyn
We study the dynamics of a single polymer subject to thermal fluctuations in a linear shear flow. The polymer is modeled as a finitely extendable nonlinear elastic FENE dumbbell. B…
Polymer dynamics in chaotic flows with strong shear component
K. S. Turitsyn
We consider the internal dynamics of the polymer molecule which is injected in the chaotic flow with strong mean shear component. The flow geometry corresponds to the recent experi…
Passive Scalar Evolution in Peripheral Region
V. V. Lebedev, K. S. Turitsyn
We consider evolution of a passive scalar (concentration of pollutants or temperature) in a chaotic (turbulent) flow. A universal asymptotic behavior of the passive scalar decay (h…
