A fast spectral method for electrostatics in doubly-periodic slit channels

1 code implementation18 Jan 2021 Ondrej Maxian, Raul P. Peláez, Leslie Greengard, Aleksandar Donev

Our method achieves spectral accuracy by using Ewald splitting to replace the original Poisson equation for nearly-singular sources with a smooth far-field Poisson equation, combined with a localized near-field correction.

An integral-based spectral method for inextensible slender fibers in Stokes flow

1 code implementation23 Jul 2020 Ondrej Maxian, Alex Mogilner, Aleksandar Donev

Numerical simulation of this gel is challenging because the fiber aspect ratios can be as large as $10^4$.

Efficient Reactive Brownian Dynamics

2 code implementations5 Oct 2017 Aleksandar Donev, Chiao-Yu Yang, Changho Kim

We develop a Split Reactive Brownian Dynamics (SRBD) algorithm for particle simulations of reaction-diffusion systems based on the Doi or volume reactivity model, in which pairs of particles react with a specified Poisson rate if they are closer than a chosen reactive distance.

A fluctuating boundary integral method for Brownian suspensions

1 code implementation5 Sep 2017 Yuanxun Bao, Manas Rachh, Eric Keaveny, Leslie Greengard, Aleksandar Donev

We present a fluctuating boundary integral method (FBIM) for overdamped Brownian Dynamics (BD) of two-dimensional periodic suspensions of rigid particles of complex shape immersed in a Stokes fluid.

An Immersed Boundary Method with Divergence-Free Velocity Interpolation and Force Spreading

1 code implementation25 Jan 2017 Yuanxun Bao, Aleksandar Donev, Boyce E. Griffith, David M. McQueen, Charles S. Peskin

The aim of this paper is to greatly reduce the volume error of the IB method by introducing velocity-interpolation and force-spreading schemes with the properties that the interpolated velocity field in which the structure moves is at least C1 and satisfies a continuous divergence-free condition, and that the force-spreading operator is the adjoint of the velocity-interpolation operator.

Brownian Dynamics of Confined Suspensions of Active Microrollers

2 code implementations1 Dec 2016 Florencio Balboa Usabiaga, Blaise Delmotte, Aleksandar Donev

We develop efficient numerical methods for performing many-body Brownian dynamics simulations of a recently-observed fingering instability in an active suspension of colloidal rollers sedimented above a wall [M. Driscoll, B. Delmotte, M. Youssef, S. Sacanna, A. Donev and P. Chaikin, Nature Physics, 2016, doi:10. 1038/nphys3970].

We introduce numerical methods for simulating the diffusive motion of rigid bodies of arbitrary shape immersed in a viscous fluid.

Dynamic scaling for the growth of non-equilibrium fluctuations during thermophoretic diffusion in microgravity

1 code implementation12 Feb 2015 Roberto Cerbino, Yifei Sun, Aleksandar Donev, Alberto Vailati

Both experiments and simulations show that during the onset the fluctuations exhibit scale invariance at large wave vectors.

Slowing-down of non-equilibrium concentration fluctuations in confinement

1 code implementation23 Oct 2014 Cédric Giraudet, Henri Bataller, Yifei Sun, Aleksandar Donev, José Maria Ortiz de Zárate, Fabrizio Croccolo

Fluctuations in a fluid are strongly affected by the presence of a macroscopic gradient making them long-ranged and enhancing their amplitude.
