Dynamic simulations of colloids by core-modified dissipative particle dynamics

Abstract: We develop a core-modified dissipative particle dynamics model of colloidal systems which includes an extra term to counteract depletion forces. Results are presented covering the full range of volume fractions. Radial distribution functions for the suspending fluid are shown to change significantly as the volume fraction of colloid increases. Equilibrium results for the long-time diffusion coefficient behave as expected, but the short-time coefficient is anomalous. The form of the equilibrium stress correlati… Show more

“…A suspended particle of spherical/circular shape can be modelled using a single DPD particle [15][16][17][18][19]8] or a set of frozen DPD particles [20][21][22][23]. The single particle model involves three groups of DPD parameters: the first group associated with the interactions between solventsolvent particles, the second with solvent-colloidal particles and the third with colloidalcolloidal particles.…”

“…Assuming a>0, equation (3) has the useful feature that it goes over smoothly to the soft-sphere system as a→0+; it is also longer ranged than the Gaussian potential. We refer to this potential as the Bounded Soft-Sphere or BSS potential.…”

“…Energy is expressed in terms of ε and distance in σ. A convenient (non-dimensional) measure of the density of the system is the nominal volume or packing fraction, ζ, defined as 3 6 ρσ π ς = (2) where ρ is the number of particles per unit volume. Both ρ and ζ can be used as measures of the particle number density.…”

“…The suspended phase has been modelled with either the single particle models [9,10,11,12,13] or the frozen particle models [14,15,16]. Recently, a new suspended-particle model has been proposed using just a few basic DPD particles (referred to here as "constituent particles") connected to reference sites by stiff linear springs [17]; the reference sites move as a rigid body motion.…”
