Fluctuation pressure of a fluid membrane between walls through six loops.
نویسنده
چکیده
The fluctuation pressure that an infinitely extended fluid membrane exerts on two enclosing parallel hard walls is computed. Variational perturbation theory is used to extract the hard-wall limit from a perturbative expansion through six loops obtained with a smooth wall potential. Our result alpha=0.0821 +/- 0.0005 for the constant conventionally parametrizing the pressure lies above earlier Monte Carlo results.

Comparisons of Experimental and Simulated Velocity Fields in Membrane Module Spacers
Spacers are used in spiral wound and plate and frame membrane modules to create flow channels between adjacent membrane layers and mix fluid within the flow channel. Flow through the spacer has a significant beneficial impact on mixing and resulting mass transfer rates but is accompanied by an undesirable increase in pressure drop. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a common tool used to eva...

The model fluids containing hard ellipses (HEs) and Gay-Berne (GB) particles where their center is moving in one dimension and confined between two parallel walls with different interactions are investigated using Monte Carlo simulation, NVT ensemble. The dependency of fluid pressure with respect to the wall distances is studied. The oscillatory behaviors are seen in this quantity against ...

The fluctuation pressure of a lipid-bilayer membrane is important for the stability of lamellar phases and the adhesion of membranes to surfaces. In contrast to many theoretical studies, which predict a decrease of the pressure with the cubed inverse distance between the membranes, Freund suggested very recently a linear inverse distance dependence [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 110, 2047 (2013)]....
متن کاملFluctuation pressure of a stack of membranes.
We calculate the universal constants in Helfrich's pressure law for a stack of N membranes between walls by strong-coupling theory. Using the close analogy between this system and a stack of strings, where the universal constants are exactly known, we construct a smooth potential that keeps the membranes apart. The strong-coupling limit of the perturbative treatment of the free energy yields pr...
متن کاملTHE DENSITY PROFILES OF A LENNARD -JONES FLUID CONFINED TO A SLIT
The structure of fluids confined by planar walls is studied using density functional theory. The density functional used is a generalized form of the hypernetted chain (HNC) functional which contains a term third order in the density. This term is chosen to ensure that the modified density functional gives the correct bulk pressure. The proposed density functional applied to a Lennard-Jones...
