Large Scale Brownian Dynamics of Confined Suspensions of Rigid Particles

1 code implementation7 Sep 2017 B. Sprinkle, F. Balboa Usabiaga, N. A. Patankar, A. Donev

We demonstrate that we can efficiently generate deterministic and random displacements for many particles using preconditioned Krylov iterative methods, if kernel methods to efficiently compute the action of the Rotne-Prager-Yamakawa (RPY) mobility matrix and it "square" root are available for the given boundary conditions.

Rapid Sampling of Stochastic Displacements in Brownian Dynamics Simulations

1 code implementation28 Nov 2016 A. M. Fiore, F. Balboa Usabiaga, A. Donev, J. W. Swan

The proposed method circumvents the super-linear scaling exhibited by all known iterative sampling methods applied directly to the RPY tensor that results from the power law growth of the condition number of tensor with the number of particles.

Hydrodynamics of Suspensions of Passive and Active Rigid Particles: A Rigid Multiblob Approach

3 code implementations5 Feb 2016 F. Balboa Usabiaga, B. Kallemov, B. Delmotte, A. Pal Singh Bhalla, B. E. Griffith, A. Donev

For fully confined domains, such as periodic suspensions or suspensions confined in slit and square channels, we extend a recently-developed rigid-body immersed boundary method to suspensions of freely-moving passive or active rigid particles at zero Reynolds number.

Brownian Dynamics without Green's Functions

2 code implementations16 Jan 2014 S. Delong, F. Balboa Usabiaga, R. Delgado-Buscalioni, B. E. Griffith, A. Donev

We develop a Fluctuating Immersed Boundary (FIB) method for performing Brownian dynamics simulations of confined particle suspensions.

A minimal model for acoustic forces on Brownian particles

1 code implementation2 Jul 2013 F. Balboa Usabiaga, R. Delgado-Buscalioni

The main role of the particle kernel is to interpolate fluid properties and spread particle forces.

Inertial Coupling Method for particles in an incompressible fluctuating fluid

1 code implementation27 Dec 2012 F. Balboa Usabiaga, R. Delgado-Buscalioni, B. E. Griffith, A. Donev

The coupling consistently includes excess (positive or negative) inertia of the particles relative to the displaced fluid, and accounts for thermal fluctuations in the fluid momentum equation.
