Movies from the simulation of cryotreatment
Particle capture or rejection
These movies illustrate the effect of the Hamaker constant value of the
behavior of particles near the interface. The first movie shows capture
of large and small particles when the Hamaker constant is small. The
second shows rejection of both particles when the Hamaker constant is
large. The third movie show that small particles are captured, while
large particles are rejected for intermediate values of the Hamaker
constant.
Adaptive grid method
This movie shows the result of a simulation of the capture of two
particles by a cellular interface. The particles are chosen to have a
size on the order of the inter-cellular spacing. Notice that the
mechanism of capture is the "stalling" of growth by the presence of the
inert particle, followed by capture from the sides.
Cell size change by osmotic expression
This movie shows cells interacting with the solidifying interface,
including a model for the expression of water from the cell. The cells
shrink as water is expressed due to the presence of solute-enriched
fluid around the cell. Two different values of the Hamaker constant are
used for the two cells to illustrate the phenomena for the two cases.
