A significant fraction of the cell volume is occupied by various proteins, polysaccharides,
nucleic acids, etc., which considerably reduces the mobility of macromolecules. Theoretical …

We present a numerical study of the dynamics of an elastic fibre in a shear flow at low
Reynolds number, and seek to understand several aspects of the fibre's motion using the …

Colloidal gels are formed during arrested phase separation. Sub-micron, mutually attractive
particles aggregate to form a system spanning network with high interfacial area, far from …

Predicting the dynamic behaviors of particles in suspension subject to hydrodynamic
interaction (HI) and external drive can be critical for many applications. By harvesting …

Diffusion in a macromolecularly crowded environment is essential for many intracellular
processes, from metabolism and catalysis to gene transcription and translation. So far …

In swimming microorganisms and the cell cytoskeleton, inextensible fibers resist bending
and twisting, and interact with the surrounding fluid to cause or resist large-scale fluid …

We describe a computational framework for simulating suspensions of rigid particles in
Newtonian Stokes flow. One central building block is a collision-resolution algorithm that …

Flexible filaments and fibres are essential components of important complex fluids that
appear in many biological and industrial settings. Direct simulations of these systems that …

A new method for calculating the resistance tensors of arbitrarily shaped particles and the
translational and rotational self-diffusivity in suspensions of such particles is developed. This …

The diffusion coefficients of globular and fully unfolded proteins can be predicted with high
accuracy solely from their mass or chain length. However, this approach fails for intrinsically …
