Bistability of cell adhesion in shear flow.
Cell adhesion plays a central role in multicellular organisms helping to maintain their integrity and homeostasis. This complex process involves many different types of adhesion proteins, and synergetic behavior of these proteins during cell adhesion is frequently observed in experiments. A well-known example is the cooperation of rolling and stationary adhesion proteins during the leukocytes e...
متن کاملTransport-Limited Aggregation and Dense Granular Flow
In this thesis, transport of interacting particles is studied in two different physical systems. In the first part, a model for interfacial growth driven by general transport processes is proposed to generalize Laplacian growth such as diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA) and viscous fingering. The fractal properties, crossover in morphology, and relation between continuous and stochastic growth...
متن کاملShear flow of dense granular materials near smooth walls. I. Shear localization and constitutive laws in the boundary region.
We report on a numerical study of the shear flow of a simple two-dimensional model of a granular material under controlled normal stress between two parallel smooth frictional walls moving with opposite velocities ± V. Discrete simulations, which are carried out with the contact dynamics method in dense assemblies of disks, reveal that, unlike rough walls made of strands of particles, smooth on...
متن کاملThree-dimensional shear in granular flow.
The evolution of granular shear flow is investigated as a function of height in a split-bottom Couette cell. Using particle tracking, magnetic-resonance imaging, and large-scale simulations, we find a transition in the nature of the shear as a characteristic height H* is exceeded. Below H* there is a central stationary core; above H* we observe the onset of additional axial shear associated wit...
متن کاملGranular shear flow in varying gravitational environments
Despite their very low surface gravities, asteroids exhibit a number of different geological processes involving granular matter. Understanding the response of this granular material subject to external forces in microgravity conditions is vital to the design of a successful asteroid sub-surface sampling mechanism, and in the interpretation of the fascinating geology on an asteroid. We have des...
