I N T R O D U C T I O N Electrostatics is believed to play a pivotal role in regulating interactions between biological macromolecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids [1,2]. Specifically, the solvation contribution, that is the en...
متن کاملFast Boundary Element Method for the Linear Poisson-Boltzmann Equation
This article summarizes the development of a fast boundary element method for the linear Poisson-Boltzmann equation governing biomolecular electrostatics. Unlike previous fast boundary element implementations, the present treatment accommodates finite salt concentrations thus enabling the study of biomolecular electrostatics under realistic physiological conditions. This is achieved by using mu...
متن کاملBoundary Value Problems for the Stationary Vlasov-Boltzmann-Poisson Equation
We investigate the well posedness of stationary Vlasov-Boltzmann equations both in the simpler case of linear problem with a space varying force field and a collisional integral satisfying the detailed balanced principle with a non-singular scattering function, and, the non-linear Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system. For the former we obtain existence-uniqueness results for arbitrarily large integr...
متن کاملGas-surface interaction and boundary conditions for the Boltzmann equation
Abstract: In this paper we revisit the derivation of boundary conditions for the Boltzmann Equation. The interaction between the wall atoms and the gas molecules within a thin surface layer is described by a kinetic equation introduced in [9] and used in [1]. This equation includes a Vlasov term and a linear molecule-phonon collision term and is coupled with the Boltzmann equation describing th...
متن کاملLattice Boltzmann Equation for Laminar Boundary Flow
A simple method based on the lattice Boltzmann equatio n is presented for the evaluati on of the velocity profile of fluid flows near walls or in the vicinity of the interface between two fluids. The met hod is applied to fluid flow near a wall, to channel flow, and to the transition zone between two fluids flowing parallel to each other in opposite direct ions. The results show good agreement ...
