Partial slip at fluid-solid boundaries by multiparticle collision dynamics simulations

Giuseppe Foffi, Samuel Hanot, Maxim Belushkin

The understanding of the exact boundary conditions at the interface between a solid and a fluid is becoming increasingly important, as the limitations of the no-slip boundary condition are becoming apparent, especially in micro- and nanofluidics applicatio ...

Role of fluid-density correlations in hydrodynamics: a multiparticle collision dynamics simulation study

Giuseppe Foffi, Maxim Belushkin

Hydrodynamic interactions play a pivotal role in the dynamical behaviour of mesoscale systems such as colloidal suspensions, yet isolating their contribution from other effects remains a key challenge. Hydrodynamic correlations within a fluid are a consequ ...

Arrested demixing opens route to bigels

Nicolas Dorsaz, Giuseppe Foffi, Francesco Varrato, Maxim Belushkin

Understanding and, ultimately, controlling the properties of amorphous materials is one of the key goals of material science. Among the different amorphous structures, a very important role is played by colloidal gels. It has been only recently understood ...

Backtracking of Colloids: A Multiparticle Collision Dynamics Simulation Study

Giuseppe Foffi, Maxim Belushkin

The role of sound in the dynamics of mesoscale systems is typically neglected, since frequently the associated time scales are much smaller than all the other time scales of interest. However, for sufficiently small objects embedded in a solvent with a suf ...

Near-surface structure of a bicontinuous microemulsion with a transition region

Maxim Belushkin

The lamellar ordering of bicontinuous microemulsions adjacent to a planar hydrophilic wall is investigated experimentally by grazing-incidence small-angle neutron scattering and theoretically by computer simulations. It is shown that precise depth informat ...

Resonances arising from hydrodynamic memory in Brownian motion

László Forró, Sylvia Jeney, Giuseppe Foffi, Flavio Maurizio Mor, Maxim Belushkin, Matthias Grimm

Observation of the Brownian motion of a small probe interacting with its environment provides one of the main strategies for characterizing soft matter. Essentially, two counteracting forces govern the motion of the Brownian particle. First, the particle i ...
