Many-body dipole-induced dipole model for electrorheological fluids
Theoretical investigations on electrorheological (ER) fluids usually rely on computer simulations. An initial approach for these studies would be the point-dipole (PD) approximation, which is known to err considerably when the particles approach and finally touch due to many-body and multipolar interactions. Thus various work attempted to go beyond the PD model. Being beyond the PD model, previ...
متن کاملInterparticle force in electrorheological solids: many-body dipole-induced dipole model.
One often investigates electrorheological (ER) solids by using the point-dipole (PD) approximation, which, however, is known to err considerably for touching particles due to the existence of many-body (local-field) effects and multipolar interactions. Beyond the PD model, previous attempts have been restricted to either local-field effects only or multipolar interactions only, but not both. In...
متن کاملPolymer Chain Collapse in Supercritical Fluids
Recent computer simulations of a polymer chain in a solvent have provided evidence, for the first time, of polymer chain collapse near the lower critical solution temperature (LCST). Motivated by these results, we have studied further this system to understand the effect of solvent and monomer sizes, chain length, and solvent and monomer energetic interactions. By means of extensive Monte Carlo...
متن کاملCollapse of a flexible polymer chain II
2014 This note gives a physical description of the collapse transition for a long chain (Nmonomers) near the 0398 point, based on existing renormalization group calculations. 1) at T = 0398 exactly, the chain is ideal as regards the size (R ~ N1/2) and the virial coefficient vanishes. However, some repulsive correlations remain due to 3 body interactions ; 2) for temperatures T = 0398 + 0394T, ...
متن کاملDrying-induced hydrophobic polymer collapse.
We have used computer simulation to study the collapse of a hydrophobic chain in water. We find that the mechanism of collapse is much like that of a first-order phase transition. The evaporation of water in the vicinity of the polymer provides the driving force for collapse, and the rate limiting step is the nucleation of a sufficiently large vapor bubble. The study is made possible through th...
