Deviations From Classical Hydrodynamic Theory in Highly Confined Planar Poiseuille Flow of a Polymer Solution

Menzel Adrian, Daivis Peter, Todd Billy

The behaviour of polymer solutions in highly confined geometries remains a subject of interest in rheology and fluid dynamics. In this paper, we investigate how well the classical hydrodynamic description based on the ...

Parallel-Tempering Monte-Carlo Simulation with Feedback-Optimized Algorithm Applied to a Coil-to-Globule Transition of a Lattice Homopolymer

Lewandowski Krzysztof, Knychała Piotr, Banaszak Michał

We present a study of the parallel tempering (replica exchange) Monte Carlo method, with special focus on the feedbackoptimized parallel tempering algorithm, used for generating an optimal set of simulation temperatures. This method is applied to a lattice simulation of a homopolymer chain underg ...
