History of KAPSEL †

• [19 Aug 2009] KAPSEL-2 released. List of changes from the previous version.
  • Thermal fluctuation is implemented to include Brown motion of dispersed particles.
  • Steady and oscillatory shear flow is implemented. (a zigzag profile is employed to be consistent with usual periodic boundary condition)
  • Additionally to spherical particles, bead-spring chains are now selectable.
  • Now able to pin some particles.
  • Computational efficiency is much improved (by a factor of 2 or more comparing to KAPSEL-1).
  • Compatible with Intel C++ compiler. One can use MKL and OpenMP to get higher performance (Linux only).
  • Bug fix.
  • The linked cell method is implemented for efficiently calculating particle interactions.
  • Many useful examples are available at KAPSEL Homepage.
  • Pre-built binary distributions are available at KAPSEL Homepage.

• [31 May 2006] KAPSEL released.
  • One can perform very reliable DNS simulations for electrophoresis of spherical particles.
