Swinging and tumbling of multicomponent vesicles in flow
Prerna Gera, David Salac, Saverio E. Spagnolie
Biological membranes are host to proteins and molecules which may form domain-like structures resulting in spatially-varying material properties. Vesicles with such heterogeneous m…
Three-Dimensional Multicomponent Vesicles: Dynamics & Influence of Material Properties
Prerna Gera, David Salac
In this work, the nonlinear dynamics of a fully three-dimensional multicomponent vesicle in shear flow are explored. Using a volume- and area-conserving projection method coupled t…
Modeling of Multicomponent Three-Dimensional Vesicles
Prerna Gera, David Salac
In many interfacial flow systems, variations of surface properties lead to novel and interesting behaviors. In this work a three-dimensional model of flow dynamics for multicompone…
Cahn-Hilliard on Surfaces: A Numerical Study
Prerna Gera, David Salac
The Cahn-Hilliard system has been used to describe a wide number of phase separation processes, from co-polymer systems to lipid membranes. In this work the convergence properties…
Energy Variation of Soft Matter Interfaces
Prerna Gera, David Salac
The variation of energies associated with soft matter interfaces where surface inhomogeneities are present. These energies include the total bending and splay energy, the variable…
Stochastic Phase Segregation on Surfaces
Prerna Gera, David Salac
Phase separation and coarsening is a phenomenon commonly seen in binary physical and chemical systems that occur in nature. Often times, thermal fluctuations, modeled as stochastic…
The Three-Dimensional Jump Conditions for the Stokes Equations with Discontinuous Viscosity, Singular Forces, and an Incompressible Interface
Prerna Gera, David Salac
The three-dimensional jump conditions for the pressure and velocity fields, up to the second normal derivative,across an incompressible/inextensible interface in the Stokes regime…
