Two-Dimensional Vesicle Hydrodynamics from Hydrophobic Attraction Potential
Szu-Pei Fu, Bryan Quaife, Rolf Ryham +1
We develop a new model, to our knowledge, for the many-body hydrodynamics of amphiphilic Janus particles suspended in a viscous background flow. The Janus particles interact throug…
Hydrodynamics of a Semipermeable Vesicle Under Flow and Confinement
Bryan Quaife, Ashley Gannon, Y. -N. Young
Lipid bilayer membranes have a native (albeit small) permeability for water molecules. Under an external load, provided that the bilayer structure stays intact and does not suffer…
Viscous Transport in Eroding Porous Media
Shang-Huan Chiu, M. N. J. Moore, Bryan D. Quaife
Transport of viscous fluid through porous media is a direct consequence of the pore structure. Here we investigate transport through a specific class of two-dimensional porous geom…
Hydrodynamics and rheology of a vesicle doublet suspension
Bryan Quaife, Shravan Veerapaneni, Y. -N. Young
The dynamics of an adhesive two-dimensional vesicle doublet under various flow conditions is investigated numerically using a high-order, adaptive-in-time boundary integral method.…
Using a High-Throughput Screening Algorithm and relativistic Density Functional Theory to Find Chelating Agents for Separation of Radioactive Waste
Ashley Gannon, Stephanie Marxsen, Kevin Mueller +2
Dangerous radioactive waste leftover from the Cold War era nuclear weapons production continues to contaminate sixteen sites around the United States. Although many challenges and…
Pixel-Level Statistical Analyses of Prescribed Fire Spread
Miles Currie, Kevin Speer, Kevin Hiers +3
Wildland fire dynamics is a complex turbulent dimensional process. Cellular automata (CA) is an efficient tool to predict fire dynamics, but the main parameters of the method are c…
