Monte Carlo simulation of nonlinear Couette flow in a dilute gas
The Direct Simulation Monte Carlo method is applied to solve the Boltzmann
equation in the steady planar Couette flow for Maxwell molecules and hard
spheres. Nonequilibrium boundary conditions based on the solution of the
Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (BGK) model for the Couette flow are employed to diminish
the influence of finite-size effects. Non-Newtonian properties are
characterized by five independent generalized transport coefficients: a
viscosity function, a thermal conductivity function, two viscometric functions,
and a cross coefficient measuring the heat flux orthogonal to the thermal
gradient. These coefficients depend nonlinearly on the shear rate. The
simulation results are compared with theoretical predictions given by the Grad
method and the BGK and the ellipsoidal statistical (ES) models. It is found
that the kinetic models present a good agreement with the simulation,
especially in the case of the ES model, while the Grad method is only
qualitatively reliable for the momentum transport. In addition, the velocity
distribution function is also measured and compared with the BGK and ES
distributions.Comment: 25 pages (including 15 figures); minor changes; revised version

Efficient simulations of charged colloidal dispersions: A density functional approach
A numerical method is presented for first-principle simulations of charged
colloidal dispersions in electrolyte solutions. Utilizing a smoothed profile
for colloid-solvent boundaries, efficient mesoscopic simulations are enabled
for modeling dispersions of many colloidal particles exhibiting many-body
electrostatic interactions. The validity of the method was examined for simple
colloid geometries, and the efficiency was demonstrated by calculating stable
structures of two-dimensional dispersions, which resulted in the formation of
colloidal crystals.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure
Molecular dynamics of flows in the Knudsen regime
Novel technological applications often involve fluid flows in the Knudsen
regime in which the mean free path is comparable to the system size. We use
molecular dynamics simulations to study the transition between the dilute gas
and the dense fluid regimes as the fluid density is increased.Comment: REVTeX, 15 pages, 4 EPS figures, to appear in Physica
Heat conduction in the diatomic Toda lattice revisited
The problem of the diverging thermal conductivity in one-dimensional (1-D)
lattices is considered. By numerical simulations, it is confirmed that the
thermal conductivity of the diatomic Toda lattice diverges, which is opposite
to what one has believed before. Also the diverging exponent is found to be
almost the same as the FPU chain. It is reconfirmed that the diverging thermal
conductivity is universal in 1-D systems where the total momentum preserves.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figures. To appear in Phys. Rev.
Plus and minus ends of microtubules respond asymmetrically to kinesin binding by a long-range directionally driven allosteric mechanism
Although it is known that majority of kinesin motors walk predominantly toward the plus end of microtubules (MTs) in a hand-over-hand manner, the structural origin of the stepping directionality is not understood. To resolve this issue, we modeled the structures of kinesin-1 (Kin1), MT, and the Kin1-MT complex using the elastic network model and calculated the residue-dependent responses to a local perturbation in the constructs. Kin1 binding elicits an asymmetric response that is pronounced in α/β-tubulin dimers in the plus end of the MT. Kin1 opens the clefts of multiple plus end α/β-tubulin dimers, creating binding-competent conformations, which is required for processivity. Reciprocally, MT induces correlations between switches I and II in the motor and enhances fluctuations in adenosine 5′-diphosphate and the residues in the binding pocket. Our findings explain both the directionality of stepping and MT effects on a key step in the catalytic cycle of kinesin
Granular Collapse as a Percolation Transition
Inelastic collapse is found in a two-dimensional system of inelastic hard
disks confined between two walls which act as an energy source. As the
coefficient of restitution is lowered, there is a transition between a state
containing small collapsed clusters and a state dominated by a large collapsed
cluster. The transition is analogous to that of a percolation transition. At
the transition the number of clusters n_s of size s scales as with .Comment: 10 pages revtex, 5 figures, accepted by Phys Rev E many changes and
