Structural changes of pulled vesicles: a Brownian dynamics simulation.
We studied the structural changes of bilayer vesicles induced by mechanical forces using a Brownian dynamics simulation. Two nanoparticles, which interact repulsively with amphiphilic molecules, are put inside a vesicle. The position of one nanoparticle is fixed, and the other is moved by a constant force as in optical-trapping experiments. First, the pulled vesicle stretches into a pear or tub...
متن کاملBrownian dynamics simulation of elliptic disks
Within this thesis, we consider Brownian dynamics simulations of anisotropic colloids modeled by elliptic disks. At first, a mathematical framework is developed in order to describe ellipses and to derive corresponding collision laws. Then, we introduce the conception of an event-driven algorithm. Within this scope, the collision time of two elliptic disks has to be determined. For this purpose...
متن کاملOn Brownian Dynamics Simulation of Nanoparticle Aggregation
Accurate simulation and control of nanoparticle aggregation in chemical reactors requires that population balance equations be solved by using realistic expressions for aggregation and breakage rate kernels. Obtaining such expressions requires that atomistic simulation approaches that can account for microscopic details of particle collisions be used. In principle, molecular dynamics simulation...
متن کاملBrownian dynamics simulation of stiff dumbbells
The effects of stiffness on the diffusion-limited dynamics of dumbbells in solution is studied numerically. The Langevin equation is used with two different models, the so-called Fraenkel and FENE dumbbells. It is found that the dynamics of rotation and stretching are dictated by the two following trends: (i) the density-density correlation function for these modes decays more slowly for larger...
متن کاملBrownian dynamics simulation of DNA condensation.
DNA condensation observed in vitro with the addition of polyvalent counterions is due to intermolecular attractive forces. We introduce a quantitative model of these forces in a Brownian dynamics simulation in addition to a standard mean-field Poisson-Boltzmann repulsion. The comparison of a theoretical value of the effective diameter calculated from the second virial coefficient in cylindrical...
