Free fluid vesicles are not exactly spherical.
At finite temperature, vesicles perform small fluctuations around an average shape. In the limit of low temperature or high bending rigidity, the fluctuations vanish and the vesicle approaches the energetically favored configuration. In the absence of a volume constraint the configuration of lowest energy is a perfect sphere. It is often assumed that the spherical shape is also the most probabl...
متن کاملAdsorption of fluid vesicles
The adhesion of fluid vesicles to a planar surface has been studied using Monte Carlo methods and scaling arguments for the random surface model. Deflated as well as inflated vesicles have been considered. Inflated vesicles, with internal pressure p.0, exhibit with increasing adhesion strength a discontinuous conformational transition from unbound sphere-like conformations to strongly adsorbed ...
متن کاملDynamic model and stationary shapes of fluid vesicles.
A phase-field model that takes into account the bending energy of fluid vesicles is presented. The Canham-Helfrich model is derived in the sharp-interface limit. A dynamic equation for the phase-field has been solved numerically to find stationary shapes of vesicles with different topologies and the dynamic evolution towards them. The results are in agreement with those found by minimization of...
متن کاملFluid vesicles in flow.
We review the dynamical behavior of giant fluid vesicles in various types of external hydrodynamic flow. The interplay between stresses arising from membrane elasticity, hydrodynamic flows, and the ever present thermal fluctuations leads to a rich phenomenology. In linear flows with both rotational and elongational components, the properties of the tank-treading and tumbling motions are now wel...
متن کاملThermodynamics of a two-dimensional Yukawa fluid.
Thermodynamic quantities of a two-dimensional Yukawa system, a model for various systems including single-layered dust particles observed in dusty plasmas, are obtained and expressed by simple interpolation formulas. In the domain of weak coupling, the analytical method based on the cluster expansion is applied and, in the domain of intermediate and strong coupling, numerical simulations are pe...
