Tuned, driven, and active soft matter
AM Menzel - Physics reports, 2015 - Elsevier
One characteristic feature of soft matter systems is their strong response to external stimuli.
As a consequence they are comparatively easily driven out of their ground state and out of …

Multi-particle collision dynamics: A particle-based mesoscale simulation approach to the hydrodynamics of complex fluids
In this review, we describe and analyze a mesoscale simulation method for fluid flow, which
was introduced by Malevanets and Kapral in 1999, and is now called multi-particle collision …

Sharp interface tracking using the phase-field equation
Y Sun, C Beckermann - Journal of Computational Physics, 2007 - Elsevier
A general interface tracking method based on the phase-field equation is presented. The
zero phase-field contour is used to implicitly track the sharp interface on a fixed grid. The …
