Instability of a fluctuating biomimetic membrane driven by an applied uniform DC electric field
Zongxin Yu, Shuozhen Zhao, Michael J. Miksis +1
The linear stability of a lipid membrane under a DC electric field, applied perpendicularly to the interface, is investigated in the electrokinetic framework, taking into account t…
Diffuse-charge dynamics across a capacitive interface in a DC electric field
Shuozhen Zhao, Bhavya Balu, Zongxin Yu +2
Cells and cellular organelles are encapsulated by nanometrically thin membranes whose main component is a lipid bilayer. In the presence of electric fields, the ion-impermeable lip…
Electrohydrodynamic flow about a colloidal particle suspended in a non-polar fluid
Zhanwen Wang, Michael J. Miksis, Petia M. Vlahovska
Nonlinear electrokinetic phenomena, where electrically driven fluid flows depend nonlinearly on the applied voltage, are commonly encountered in aqueous suspensions of colloidal pa…
Drag and torque coefficients of a translating particle with slip at a gas-liquid interface
Zhi Zhou, Petia M. Vlahovska, Michael J. Miksis
The dynamics of colloid-size particles trapped at a liquid interface is an extensively studied problem owing to its relevance to a wide range of engineering applications. Here we i…
