A numerical study on the role of geometry confinement and fluid flow in colloidal self-assembly

As a strategy of autonomously organising nanoparticles into patterns or structures, colloidal self-assembly has attracted significant interests in both fundamental research and applied science. Discrete element method (DEM) coupled with a simplified fluid flow model is applied to investigate convect...
