Viral nematics in confined geometries.
Motivated by recent experiments on the rod-like virus bacteriophage fd, confined to circular and annular domains, we present a theoretical study of structural transitions in these geometries. Using the continuum theory of nematic liquid crystals, we examine the competition between bulk elasticity and surface anchoring, mediated by the formation of topological defects. We show analytically that ...
متن کاملComputer Simulations of Cylindrically Confined Nematics
A Monte Carlo simulation of a nematic Lebwohl-Lasher li uid crys-confined to a cylindrical pore is presented. We have calculated t ll e ordering and the molecular orgamsation inside the cavity for cylinders of different size when homeotropic radial boundar strengths are employed. We have not o iT conditions and different anchoring in the organisations obtained. served escaped radial configurations
متن کاملPrediction of anomalous blood viscosity in confined shear flow.
Red blood cells play a major role in body metabolism by supplying oxygen from the microvasculature to different organs and tissues. Understanding blood flow properties in microcirculation is an essential step towards elucidating fundamental and practical issues. Numerical simulations of a blood model under a confined linear shear flow reveal that confinement markedly modifies the properties of ...
متن کاملDynamics of prolate spheroidal elastic particles in confined shear flow.
We investigate through numerical simulations the dynamics of a neo-Hookean elastic prolate spheroid suspended in a Newtonian fluid under shear flow. Both initial orientations of the particle within and outside the shear plane and both unbounded and confined flow geometries are considered. In unbounded flow, when the particle starts on the shear plane, two stable regimes of motion are found, i.e...
متن کاملModeling the behavior of confined colloidal particles under shear flow.
We investigate the behavior of colloidal suspensions with different volume fractions confined between parallel walls under a range of steady shears. We model the particles using molecular dynamics (MD) with full hydrodynamic interactions implemented through the use of a lattice-Boltzmann (LB) fluid. A quasi-2d ordering occurs in systems characterized by a coexistence of coupled layers with diff...
