Hydrodynamic lift on bound vesicles
Bound vesicles subject to lateral forces such as arising from shear flow are investigated theoretically by combining a lubrication analysis of the bound part with a scaling approach to the global motion. A minor inclination of the bound part leads to significant lift due to the additive effects of lateral and tank-treading motions. With increasing shear rate, the vesicle unbinds from the substr...
متن کاملNon-Markovian closure kinetics of flexible polymers with hydrodynamic interactions.
This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the closure kinetics of a polymer with hydrodynamic interactions. This analysis, which takes into account the non-Markovian dynamics of the end-to-end vector and relies on the preaveraging of the mobility tensor (Zimm dynamics), is shown to reproduce very accurately the results of numerical simulations of the complete nonlinear dynamics. It is found...
متن کاملPolymers near metal surfaces: selective adsorption and global conformations.
We study the properties of a polycarbonate melt near a nickel surface as a model system for the interaction of polymers with metal surfaces by employing a multiscale modeling approach. For bulk properties, a suitably coarse-grained bead-spring model is simulated by molecular dynamics methods with model parameters directly derived from quantum chemical calculations. The surface interactions are ...
متن کاملDensity profiles and surface tension of polymers near colloidal surfaces
The surface tension of interacting polymers in a good solvent is calculated theoretically and by computer simulations for a planar wall geometry and for the insertion of a single colloidal hard sphere. This is achieved for the planar wall and for the larger spheres by an adsorption method, and for smaller spheres by a direct insertion technique. Results for the dilute and semidilute regimes are...
متن کاملHydrodynamic drag and lift forces on human hand/arm models.
Forces acting on the forearm and hand during swimming can be decomposed into drag forces and lift forces. In this study drag and lift forces were measured on two models of a human hand and forearm when towed in a towing tank. To compare the results of models with different size at different velocities force data were normalized to drag and lift coefficients (Cd and Ct). Influence of the orienta...
