Abstract:
In several fast-growing research areas such as material science, macromolecular chemistry, bioengineering and biophysics the dynamics of rod-like microstructures such as polymers, rod-like viruses, flagella of bacteria or thin glass fibers plays a crucial role. These microstructures are typically embedded into some viscous fluid and kept by stochastic thermal forces in an incessant motion, the so-called Brownian dynamics. In this article we introduce a novel approach how three dimensional finite...     »
