Simulations of Surfactant Spreading
Thin liquid films have been studied extensively because of their interesting mathematical behavior (for instance, [2]) and industrial applications. Films under the influence of surfactants, which lower surface tension in the fluid, exhibit spreading and the formation of capillary ridges. In the experiment I am considering, a ring of surfactant is placed in glycerin, which produces radial propag...
متن کاملStructures of soluble amyloid oligomers from computer simulations.
Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob's neurodegenerative diseases are all linked with the assembly of normally soluble proteins into amyloid fibrils. Because of experimental limitations, structural characterization of the soluble oligomers, which form early in the process of fibrillogenesis and are cytotoxic, remains to be determined. In this article, we study the aggregation paths o...
متن کاملSimulations of Surfactant Driven Thin Film Flow
This thesis is intended to fulfill the requirements of the Math and Physics departments at Harvey Mudd College. We begin with a brief introduction to the study of surfactant dynamics followed by some background on the experimental framework our work is related to. We then go through a derivation of the model we use, and explore in depth the nature of the Equation of State (EoS), the relationshi...
متن کاملComputer simulations as experiments
Whereas computer simulations involve no direct physical interaction between the machine they are run on and the physical systems they are used to investigate, they are often used as experiments and yield data about these systems. It is commonly argued that they do so because they are implemented on physical machines. We claim that physicality is not necessary for their representational and pred...
متن کاملComputer simulations of biaxial nematics.
Biaxial nematic (N(b)) liquid crystals are a fascinating condensed matter phase that has baffled, for more than thirty years, scientists engaged in the challenge of demonstrating its actual existence, and which has only recently been experimentally found. During this period computer simulations of model N(b) have played an important role, both in providing the basic physical properties to be ex...
