We present rotating periodic boundary conditions (PBCs) for the simulation of nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) under uniaxial stretching flow (USF) or biaxial stretching flow (BSF). Such nonequilibrium flows need specialized PBCs…
A velocity boundary condition for the Lattice Boltzmann simulation technique has been proposed recently by Hecht and Harting[arxiv:0811.4593]. This boundary condition is independent of the relaxation process during collision and contains no…
In this paper, we investigate the effect of boundary surface roughness on numerical simulations of incompressible fluid flow past a cylinder in two and three spatial dimensions furnished with slip boundary conditions. The governing…
Many physical systems of interest involve the close interaction of a flow in a domain with complex, time-varying boundaries. Treatment of boundaries of this nature is cumbersome due to the difficulty in explicitly tracking boundaries that…
Compared to pure fluids, binary mixtures display a very diverse phase behavior, which depends sensitively on the parameters of the microscopic potential. Here we investigate the phase diagrams of simple model mixtures by use of a…
We present an explicit finite difference method to simulate the non-ideal multi-phase fluid flow. The local density and the momentum transport are modeled by the Navier-Stokes (N-S) equations and the pressure is computed by the Van der…
In the paper [Eur. J. of Appl. Math. \textbf{20}, (2009) 269--287] by da Costa et al. the twist-Fr\'eedericksz transition in a nematic liquid crystal one-dimensional cell of lenght $L$ was studied imposing an antisymmetric net twist…
An independent control of the flux and energy of ions impacting on an object immersed in a plasma is often desirable for many industrial processes such as microelectronics manufacturing. We demonstrate that a simultaneous control of these…
We are concerned with the global bifurcation analysis of positive solutions to free boundary problems arising in plasma physics. We show that in general, in the sense of domain variations, the following alternative holds: either the shape…
Parallel shear flows come with continuous symmetries of translation in the downstream and spanwise direction. As a consequence, flow states that differ in their spanwise or downstream location but are otherwise identical are dynamically…
It is very common with molecular dynamics and other simulation techniques to apply Lees-Edwards periodic boundary conditions (PBCs) for the simulation of shear flow. However the behavior of a complex liquid can be quite different under…
The traffic of molecular motors through open tube-like compartments is studied using lattice models. These models exhibit boundary-induced phase transitions related to those of the asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) in one…
In this paper, we study boundary-induced phase transitions in a particle non-conserving asymmetric simple exclusion process with open boundaries. Using boundary layer analysis, we show that the key signatures of various bulk phase…
Tunneling through a localized barrier in a one-dimensional interacting electron gas has been studied recently using Luttinger liquid techniques. Stable phases with zero or unit transmission occur, as well as critical points with universal…
The plasma exit flow speed at the sheath entrance is constrained by the Bohm criterion. The so-called Bohm speed regulates the plasma particle and power exhaust fluxes to the wall, and it is commonly deployed as a boundary condition to…
We revisit the totally asymmetric simple exclusion process with open boundaries (TASEP), focussing on the recent discovery by de Gier and Essler that the model has a dynamical transition along a nontrivial line in the phase diagram. This…
This work was motivated by a lacking general consensus in the exact form of the boundary conditions (BCs) required on the solid surfaces for the continuum modeling of RF plasmas. Various kinds of number and energy density BCs on solid…
Turbulent dynamics in the scrape-off layer (SOL) of magnetic fusion devices is intermittent with large fluctuations in density and pressure. Therefore, a model is required that allows perturbations of similar or even larger magnitude to the…

We study an open system composed of two parallel totally asymmetric simple exclusion processes with particle attachment and detachment in the bulk. The particles are allowed to change their lane from lane-A to lane-B, but not conversely. We…
