Gravitational collapse of a Brownian gas

Clément Sire, Pierre-Henri Chavanis (2004)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We investigate a model describing the dynamics of a gas of self-gravitating Brownian particles. This model can also have applications for the chemotaxis of bacterial populations. We focus here on the collapse phase obtained at sufficiently low temperature/energy and on the post-collapse regime following the singular time where the central density diverges. Several analytical results are illustrated by numerical simulations.

Similarity:

The paper is devoted to the method of computer simulation of protein interactions taking part in photosynthetic electron transport reactions. Using this method we have studied kinetic characteristics of protein-protein complex formation for four pairs of proteins involved in photosynthesis at a variety of ionic strength values. Computer simulations describe non-monotonic dependences of complex formation rates on the ionic strength as the ...

On the analogy between self-gravitating Brownian particles and bacterial populations

Pierre-Henri Chavanis, Magali Ribot, Carole Rosier, Clément Sire (2004)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We develop the analogy between self-gravitating Brownian particles and bacterial populations. In the high friction limit, the self-gravitating Brownian gas is described by the Smoluchowski-Poisson system. These equations can develop a self-similar collapse leading to a finite time singularity. Coincidentally, the Smoluchowski-Poisson system corresponds to a simplified version of the Keller-Segel model of bacterial populations. In this biological context, it describes the chemotactic...

Transport in a molecular motor system

Michel Chipot, Stuart Hastings, David Kinderlehrer (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

Similarity:

Intracellular transport in eukarya is attributed to motor proteins that transduce chemical energy into directed mechanical energy. This suggests that, in nonequilibrium systems, fluctuations may be oriented or organized to do work. Here we seek to understand how this is manifested by quantitative mathematical portrayals of these systems.

Computer simulation of the atomic behaviour in condensed phases.

Antoni Giró Roca, Joan Angel Padró (1987)

Qüestiió

Similarity:

Molecular dynamics simulation method for the study of condensed phases of matter is described in this paper. Computer programs for the simulation of atomic motion have been developed. Time-saving techniques, like the cellular method have been incorporated in order to optimize the available computer resources. We have applied this method to the simulation of Argon near its melting point. Differences in the structure, thermodynamic properties and time correlation functions of solid and...
