The prediction and interpretation of conformational properties of branched polymers is
difficult, due to the complexity and variety of these structures. Numerical simulations are …

The hydrodynamic properties of cylindrical rodlike and discoidal particles in dilute solution
have been computed using the bead-shell model treatment. Previous results Tirado and …

The hydrodynamic properties of rigid particles are calculated from models composed of
spherical elements (beads) using theories developed by Kirkwood, Bloomfield, and their …

Brownian dynamics is used to simulate fluorescence depolarization and depolarized light
scattering from a discrete wormlike chain model. Flexible constraints are used tohold …

Translational friction coefficients for cylinders of arbitrary axial ratios (including disks) are
calculated using Monte Carlo simulation and an approximate description of the …

The Brownian dynamics (BD) simulation technique is widely used to model the diffusive and
