Mesoscopic Solvent Dynamics in a Real Dimensional System
نویسنده
چکیده
Hydrodynamic simulations of mesoscopic solvent have been performed by multi-particle collision algorithm in a real dimensional system without and with the random shifting of the grid. A systematic conversion of the dimensionless units to a real dimensional system was confirmed by jump rates of solvent particles. Speed distributions of solvent particles obtained from the simulations agreed very well with the Maxwell-Boltzmann distributions. Solvent viscosities obtained from the simulations and from the conversion of units are exactly the same which confirmed the correct conversion of the units once again. The calculation of the friction coefficient of a massive Brownian particle in a mesoscopic solvent as a function of Brownian particle diameter was examined as an example.

Mesoscopic description of solvent effects on polymer dynamics.
Solvent effects on polymer dynamics and structure are investigated using a mesoscopic solvent model that accounts for hydrodynamic interactions among the polymer beads. The simulation method combines molecular dynamics of the polymer chain, interacting with the solvent molecules through intermolecular forces, with mesoscopic multiparticle collision dynamics for the solvent molecules. Changes in...
متن کاملA second generation mesoscopic lipid bilayer model: connections to field-theory descriptions of membranes and nonlocal hydrodynamics.
A new mesoscopic membrane model is developed in order to examine long-wavelength structural and dynamical membrane phenomena. Two different explicit mesoscopic solvent models are employed. The first mesoscopic solvent is denoted the big liquid oscillating blob system, which is parametrized to model water at a coarse-grained level and is motivated by a Langevin-like approach; the resulting membr...
متن کاملA simulation model for amphiphilic molecules in a mesoscale solvent
We present a stochastic rotation dynamics model of amphiphilic molecules. Vesicle formation of amphiphilic molecules in a thermal fluctuating fluid is demonstrated in this paper. In the model, the interaction of amphiphilic molecules is represented by Lennard–Jones potentials, and stochastic rotation dynamics [T. Ihle, D.M. Kroll, Stochastic rotation dynamics: A Galilean-invariant mesoscopic mo...
متن کاملPores in bilayer membranes of amphiphilic molecules: coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations compared with simple mesoscopic models.
We investigate pores in fluid membranes by molecular dynamics simulations of an amphiphile-solvent mixture, using a molecular coarse-grained model. The amphiphilic membranes self-assemble into a lamellar stack of amphiphilic bilayers separated by solvent layers. We focus on the particular case of tensionless membranes, in which pores spontaneously appear because of thermal fluctuations. Their s...

Proton transfer rates and mechanisms are studied in mesoscopic, liquid-state, molecular clusters. The proton transfer occurs in a protonion complex solvated by polar molecules comprising the cluster environment. The rates and mechanisms of the reaction are studied using both adiabatic and non-adiabatic molecular dynamics. For large molecular clusters, the proton-ion complex resides primarily on...
