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…
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…
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…
Stationary shapes of axisymmetric vesicles beyond lowest-energy configurations
Rodrigo B. Reboucas, Hammad A. Faizi, Michael J. Miksis +1
We conduct a systematic exploration of the energy landscape of vesicle morphologies within the framework of the Helfrich model. Vesicle shapes are determined by minimizing the elas…
Drag force on spherical particles trapped at a liquid interface
Zhi Zhou, Petia M. Vlahovska, Michael J. Miksis
The dynamics of particles attached to an interface separating two immiscible fluids are encountered in a wide variety of applications. Here we present a combined asymptotic and num…
