3D vesicle dynamics simulations with a linearly triangulated surface
نویسندگان
چکیده
Simulations of biomembranes have gained an increasing interest in the past years. Specifities of these membranes propose new challenges for the numerics. In particular, vesicle dynamics are governed by bending forces as well as a surface incompressibility constraint. A method to compute the bending force density resultant onto piecewise linearly triangulated surface meshes is described. This method is coupled with a boundary element method solver for inner and outer fluids, to compute vesicle dynamics under external flows. The surface incompressibility constraint is satisfied by the construction of a projection operator.

Isometric Morphing of Triangular Meshes
We present a novel approach to morph between two isometric poses of the same non-rigid object given as triangular meshes. We model the morphs as linear interpolations in a suitable shape space S. For triangulated 3D polygons, we prove that interpolating linearly in this shape space corresponds to the most isometric morph in R. We extend this shape space to arbitrary triangulations in 3D using a...

Based on the fact the manipulation of fine nanoclusters calls for more precise modeling, the aim of this paper is to conduct an atomistic investigation for interaction analysis of particle-substrate system for pushing and positioning purposes. In the present research, 2D molecular dynamics simulations have been used to investigate such behaviors. Performing the planar simulations can provide a ...
متن کاملIncompressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulations on free surface flows
The water wave generation by wave paddle and a freely falling rigid body are examined by using an Incompressible Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (ISPH). In the current ISPH method, the pressure was evaluated by solving pressure Poisson equation using a semi-implicit algorithm based on the projection scheme and the source term of pressure Poisson equation contains both of divergence free ve...
متن کاملPhase transition of compartmentalized surface models
Two types of surface models have been investigated by Monte Carlo simulations on triangulated spheres with compartmentalized domains. Both models are found to undergo a first-order collapsing transition and a first-order surface fluctuation transition. The first model is a fluid surface one. The vertices can freely diffuse only inside the compartments, and they are prohibited from the free diff...
