The structure of a nonuniform Lennard-Jones (LJ) liquid near a hard wall is approximated by that of a reference fluid with repulsive intermolecular forces in a self-consistently determined external mean field incorporating the effects of…
In our recent works, based on the structural studies on water and interfacial water (topmost water layer at the solute/water interface), hydration free energy is derived and utilized to investigate the physical origin of hydrophobic…
The Local Molecular Field Theory (LMF) developed by Weeks and co-workers has proved successful for treating the structure and thermodynamics of a variety of non-uniform liquids. By reformulating LMF in terms of one-body direct correlation…
Structural and thermodynamic properties of ionic fluids are related to those of a simpler ``mimic'' system with short ranged intermolecular interactions in a spatially varying effective field by use of Local Molecular Field (LMF) theory,…
We present a general simulation approach for incompressible fluid--structure interactions in a fully Eulerian framework using the reference map technique (RMT). The approach is suitable for modeling one or more rigid or finitely-deformable…
Percus showed that approximate theories for the structure of nonuniform hard sphere fluids can be generated by linear truncations of functional expansions of the nonuniform density rho (r) about that of an appropriately chosen uniform…
In this article, we present a new unified finite element method (UFEM) for simulation of general Fluid-Structure interaction (FSI) which has the same generality and robustness as monolithic methods but is significantly more computationally…
We propose a simple theory for the dynamics of model glass-forming fluids, which should be solvable using a mean-field-like approach. The theory is based on transparent physical assumptions, which can be tested in computer simulations. The…
Recent atomic force microscopy (AFM) can measure force curves between a probe and a sample surface in several solvents. The force curve is thought as the solvation structure in some cases, because its shape is generally oscilltive and pitch…
We present a new method for studying equilibrium properties of interacting fluids in an arbitrary external field. The fluid is composed of monodisperse spherical particles with hard-core repulsion and additional interactions of arbitrary…
The mean field approximation is formulated within the framework of the density field theory to study the properties of a Maier-Saupe nematogenic fluid near a hard wall. The density and the order parameter profiles are obtained using the…
Active systems, which are driven out of equilibrium by local non-conservative forces, exhibit unique behaviors and structures with potential utility for the design of novel materials. An important and difficult challenge along the path…
We derive an exact equation for density changes induced by a general external field that corrects the hydrostatic approximation where the local value of the field is adsorbed into a modified chemical potential. Using linear response theory…
We derive a mathematical model for the motion of several insulating rigid bodies through an electrically conducting fluid. Starting from a universal model describing this phenomenon in generality, we elaborate (simplifying) physical…
We consider a mean field hierarchy of models for large systems of interacting ellipsoids suspended in an incompressible fluid. The models range from microscopic to macroscopic mean field models. The microscopic model is based on three…
We develop direct inversion methods for inferring the rheology of a fluid from observations of its shallow flow. First, the evolution equation for the free-surface flow of an inertia-less current with general constitutive law is derived.…
The structural properties of single component fluids of hard hyperspheres in odd space dimensionalities $d$ are studied with an analytical approximation method that generalizes the Rational Function Approximation earlier introduced in the…
A unified fluid-structure interaction (FSI) formulation is presented for solid, liquid and mixed membranes. Nonlinear finite elements (FE) and the generalized-alpha scheme are used for the spatial and temporal discretization. The membrane…
We use a new configuration-based version of linear response theory to efficiently solve self-consistent mean field equations relating an effective single particle potential to the induced density. The versatility and accuracy of the method…
In models of $N$ interacting particles in $\R^d$ as in Density Functional Theory or crowd motion, the repulsive cost is usually described by a two-point function $c_\e(x,y) =\ell\Big(\frac{|x-y|}{\e}\Big)$ where $\ell: \R_+ \to [0,\infty]$…
