In previous work, one of us calculated the Solvation force of hard ellipsoid fluid with hard Gaussian overlap potential using hard needle wall interaction and non-linear equation proposed by Grimson- Rickyazen. In present work, using density functional theory and extended restricted orientation model, the solvation force of hard ellipsoid fluid in presence of more realistic rod- sphere and rod-...

We investigate, by Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics computer simulation techniques, the stability of the nematic phase of hard ellipsoids of revolution with axial ratio 3, for system sizes in the range N = 108{576. We conclude that the phase is not, as had previously been suggested, rendered unstable by increasing the number of particles in this range. The diiculties of making accurate estima...

The motion of a heavy rigid ellipsoidal particle settling in an infinitely long circular tube filled with an incompressible Newtonian fluid has been studied numerically for three categories of problems, namely, when both fluid and particle inertia are negligible, when fluid inertia is negligible but particle inertia is present, and when both fluid and particle inertia are present. The governing...

Transport properties of isotropic uids composed of hard ellipsoids of revolution are studied using molecular dynamics simulation. The self diiusion coeecient, the shear viscosity and the thermal conductivity are evaluated for a range of densities and elongations and are compared with the results from an Enskog kinetic theory for nonspherical bodies. The full anisotropic pair correlation functio...

Liquid crystals exhibit orientation-dependent phases ranging from a disordered ~isotropic! phase to a highly ordered crystalline phase. In between these extremes, increasing order can result in nematic and smectic phases. Typically, molecular simulation studies of liquid-crystal behavior use a nonspherical hard-body monomer. In this work, molecular simulation is used to study dimers of hard pro...
