When an external field drives a colloidal system out of equilibrium, the ensuing colloidal response can be very complex and obtaining a detailed physical understanding often requires case-by-case considerations. In order to facilitate systematic analysis, here we present a general iterative scheme for the determination of the unique external force field that yields a prescribed inhomogeneous stationary or time-dependent flow in an overdamped Brownian many-body system. The computer simulation method is based on the exact one-body force balance equation and allows to specifically tailor both gradient and rotational velocity contributions, as well as to freely control the one-body density distribution. Hence compressibility of the flow field can be fully adjusted. The practical convergence to a unique external force field demonstrates the existence of a functional map from both velocity and density to external force field, as predicted by the power functional variational framework. In equilibrium, the method allows to find the conservative force field that generates a prescribed target density profile, and hence implements the Mermin-Evans classical density functional map from density distribution to external potential. The conceptual tools developed here enable one to gain detailed physical insight into complex flow behaviour, as we demonstrate in prototypical situations.
Driving an inertial many-body system out of equilibrium generates complex dynamics due to memory effects and the intricate relationships between the external driving force, internal forces, and transport effects. Understanding the underlying physics
We present a fundamental classification of forces relevant in nonequilibrium structure formation under collective flow in Brownian many-body systems. The internal one-body force field is systematically split into contributions relevant for the spatia
The active Brownian particle (ABP) model describes a swimmer, synthetic or living, whose direction of swimming is a Brownian motion. The swimming is due to a propulsion force, and the fluctuations are typically thermal in origin. We present a 2D mode
We perform three-dimensional simulations of a granular jet impact for both frictional and frictionless grains. Small shear stress observed in the experiment[X. Cheng et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 188001 (2007) ] is reproduced through our simulation. H
The short-time motion of Brownian particles in an incompressible Newtonian fluid under shear, in which the fluid inertia becomes important, was investigated by direct numerical simulation of particulate flows. Three-dimensional simulations were perfo
