Fast Q-tensor method for modeling the dynamics of defects in a liquid crystal director field.
A fast Q-tensor method, which can model the defect dynamics in a liquid crystal director field, is presented. Conceptually based on the Oseen-Frank approach, we have added temperature energy density terms in addition to the strain energy terms, and an improved normalization method for fast calculations. The method is more compact and allows a larger time step than previous methods. The method i...
متن کاملPhase field approach for modeling intracellular dynamics
We introduce a phase field approach for diffusion inside and outside a closed cell with damping and with source terms at the interface. The method is compared to exact solutions (where possible) and the more traditional finite element method. It is shown to be very accurate, easy to implement and computationally inexpensive. We apply our method to a recently introduced model for chemotaxis by R...
متن کاملPhase-field modeling of nanoscale island dynamics
We present a phase-field model to simulate the dynamics of a perturbed circular island during epitaxial growth. Surface diffusion and a far-field flux are incorporated in the model. Moreover, a modified free energy function together with a correction to the initial phase variable profile is given to efficiently capture the morphological evolution when a large deposition flux is imposed. To test...
متن کاملThermodynamic modeling of crystal deposition in humans *
The prevention and treatment of crystal deposition in the human body are based on the understanding of the physicochemical properties underlying the precipitation of the substances involved. Among these properties, the solubilities of the crystals are very important. Recently, experimentally determined solubility data of substances related to urolithiasis, such as calcium oxalate hydrates, uric...
متن کاملRecovering thermodynamic consistency of the antitrapping model: a variational phase-field formulation for alloy solidification.
The phenomenological antitrapping phase-field model has attained much success in describing alloy solidification. The heuristically introduced antitrapping current enables removing artificial effects due to the use of large interfacial width. Nevertheless, such a model is not thermodynamically consistent and has not been fitted into a variational framework. Here we present two approaches to dev...
