Relaxation dynamics of fluid membranes.
We study the effect of membrane viscosity in the dynamics of liquid membranes-possibly with free or internal boundaries-driven by conservative forces (curvature elasticity and line tension) and dragged by the bulk dissipation of the ambient fluid and the friction occurring when the amphiphilic molecules move relative to each other. To this end, we formulate a continuum model which includes a fo...
متن کاملRelaxation dynamics of two-component fluid bilayer membranes.
We theoretically investigate the relaxation dynamics of a nearly flat binary lipid bilayer membrane by taking into account the membrane tension, hydrodynamics of the surrounding fluid, inter-monolayer friction and mutual diffusion. Mutual diffusion is the collective irreversible process that leads to homogenization of the density difference between the two lipid species. We find that two relaxa...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of the dynamics of fluid membranes
Numerical simulation of the dynamics of fluid membranes Laurence Grosjean The goal of this project is to explore the mechanics of lipid fluid membranes as found in biological and made-man systems through continuum models and numerical simulations. Traditionally, the focus has been on the equilibrium configurations of vesicles through minimization of the curvature energy subject to constraints. ...
متن کاملDynamics of Phase Separation in Confined Two-component Fluid Membranes
We investigate the dynamics of phase separation in two-component fluid membranes confined between parallel and rigid bounding plates. Through numerical simulation, we find dramatic slow coarsening of the order parameter field within the simulation time. In particular, a microphase separation is obtained as an equilibrium phase for sufficiently large values of the elastic coupling, being consist...
