چکیده
The hydrodynamic properties of cylindrical ~rodlike and discoidal! particles in dilute solution have been computed using the bead-shell model treatment. Previous results @Tirado and Garcı́a de la Torre, J. Chem. Phys. 71, 2581 ~1979!; 73, 1993 ~1980!# for rods with length-to-diameter ratio p .2 are now extended to short cylinders and disks down to p50.1. The intrinsic viscosity is obtained for rods and disks, and results are presented for the three rotational relaxation times of a cylindrical particle. The hydrodynamic properties are expressed in forms that have a weak variation with p, and are therefore useful for the analysis of experimental values. We present examples of the determination of the length and diameter of the cylindrical particles, for DNA oligonucleotides and tobacco mosaic virus. © 2003 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1615967#

Conformation of myosin in dilute solution as estimated from hydrodynamic properties.
On the basis of the current knowledge of the structure and dimensions of myosin and its parts, we analyze available data on hydrodynamic properties (translational diffusion, rotational diffusion, and intrinsic viscosity) for comparison with values calculated for models with varying geometry. Special attention is paid to detecting flexibility effects in those properties. After obtaining a plausi...
متن کاملMany - Sphere Hydrodynamic Interactions 1 I . Mobilities at Finite Frequencies
A well-known problem in low Reynolds number hydrodynamics 1) is to calculate the hydrodynamic interactions between spherical particles moving in a fluid, as its solution is necessary for understanding the properties of suspensions. While the first treatment of such hydrodynamic interactions dates from 1911 when Smoluchowski 2) analysed the hydrodynamic friction between two spherical particles, ...
متن کاملHydrodynamic interactions in metal rodlike-particle suspensions due to induced charge electroosmosis.
We present a theoretical and experimental study of the role of hydrodynamic interactions on the motion and dispersion of metal rodlike particles in the presence of an externally applied electric field. In these systems, the electric field polarizes the particles and induces an electroosmotic flow relative to the surface of each particle. The simulations include the effect of the gravitational b...
متن کاملInstabilities and nonlinear dynamics of concentrated active suspensions
Suspensions of active particles, such as motile microorganisms and artificial microswimmers, are known to undergo a transition to complex large-scale dynamics at high enough concentrations. While a number of models have demonstrated that hydrodynamic interactions can in some cases explain these dynamics, collective motion in experiments is typically observed at such high volume fractions that s...
