Particle size is a key variable in understanding the behaviour of the particulate products that underpin much of our modern lives. Typically obtained from suspensions at rest, measuring the particle size under flowing conditions would…
Swimming bacteria create long-range velocity fields that stir a large volume of fluid and move around passive particles dispersed in the fluid. Recent experiments and simulations have shown that long-time mean-squared displacement of…
We report on a comprehensive theory-simulation-experimental study of collective and self-diffusion in suspensions of charge-stabilized colloidal spheres. In simulation and theory, the spheres interact by a hard-core plus screened Coulomb…
The viscosity and self-diffusion constant of a mesoscale hydrodynamic method, dissipative particle dynamics (DPD), are investigated. The viscosity of DPD with finite time step, including the Lowe-Anderson thermostat, is derived analytically…
Convective dissolution is the process by which CO$_2$ injected in deep geological formations dissolves into the aqueous phase, which allows storing it perennially by gravity. The process results from buoyancy-coupled Darcy flow and solute…
We study the thermal Markovian diffusion of tracer particles in a 2D medium with spatially-varying diffusivity $D(r)$, mimicking recently measured, heterogeneous maps of the apparent diffusion coefficient in biological cells. For this…
We calculate the self diffusion coefficients $D_S$ for the species $s=1,2$ of a mixture, and show that a general scaling relation $D_2{\sim}D_1^a$ with a non universal exponent $a$ holds. The generalized diffusion coefficients, dependent on…
Carbon dioxide (CO$_2$) sequestration in saline aquifers has been introduced as one of the most practical, long-term, and safe solutions to tackle a growing threat originating from the emission of CO$_2$. Successfully executing and planning…
The effect of the applied trajectory length on the convergence of the static dielectric constant and the self-diffusion coefficient were examined for the SPC/E water model in the NVT ensemble with different system size at 293 K. Very long…
The dynamic behavior of a hard-sphere colloidal suspension was studied by X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy and Small Angle X-ray Scattering over a wide range of particle volume fractions. The short-time mobility of the particles was…
We investigate the hydrodynamic effects on the dynamics of critical concentration fluctuations in multicomponent fluid membranes. Two geometrical cases are considered; (i) confined membrane case and (ii) supported membrane case. We…
Self-propelled particles with hydrodynamic interactions (microswimmers) have previously been shown to produce long-range ordering phenomena. Many theoretical explanations for these collective phenomena are connected to instabilities in the…
Self-diffusion, $D$, in a system of particles that interact with a pseudo hard sphere potential is analyzed. Coupling with a solvent is represented by a Langevin thermostat, characterized by the damping time $t_d$. The hypotheses that…
We conduct molecular dynamics computer simulations of a system of Lennard-Jones particles, polydisperse in both size and mass, at a fixed density and temperature. We test for and quantify systematic changes in dynamical properties that…
In this work, a new algorithm is proposed to compute single particle (infinite dilution) thermodiffusion using Non-Equilibrium Molecular Dynamics simulations through the estimation of the thermophoretic force that applies on a solute…
We apply a hybrid Molecular Dynamics and mesoscopic simulation technique to study the steady-state sedimentation of hard sphere particles for Peclet numbers (Pe) ranging from 0.08 to 12. Hydrodynamic back-flow causes a reduction of the…
In our recent work on concentrated suspensions of uniformly porous colloidal spheres with excluded volume interactions, a variety of short-time dynamic properties were calculated, except for the rotational self-diffusion coefficient. This…
Self-propelled colloids constitute an important class of intrinsically non-equilibrium matter. Typically, such a particle moves ballistically at short times, but eventually changes its orientation, and displays random-walk behavior in the…
Dynamical polydispersity in single-particle properties, for example a fluctuating particle size, shape, charge density, etc., is intrinsic to responsive colloids (RCs), such as biomacromolecules or microgels, but is typically not resolved…
Experimental studies of the variation of the mean square displacement (MSD) of a particle in a confined colloid suspension that exhibits density variations on the scale length of the particle diameter are not in agreement with the…
