I would like to model a patchy colloid which has directional interactions..
Thank you Dr. pavel komarov for your suggestion. I would like to study a simple charged model that can represent a strong directionality of attractions in terms of pair potential.
The question still needs more calification, Discrete particel Model (DPM) can be an option. I used it but in a microfluidic mode. See my Physics D and Microfluidics and Nanofluidics journal articels
Thank you Dr.Saud Khashan for your suggestion. I am working on studying the structural and equilibrium properties of simple charged asymmetrical colloidal particles using simulations and theoretically. Here I used primitive model for studying the system. Now I would like to model this charged system with specific directional interactions.
Thank You..
Models:
If you are looking for very simple models: consider the use of Kern-Frenkel type of interactions: Look at the papers of F. Sciortino, E. Bianchi, et al. on empty fluids and other patchy colloid systems.
If you want something even simpler (lattice gas version) take a view on my papers done in collaboration with J.M. Tavares, M. Telo da Gama and E.G. Noya.
Methods: You will probably need advanced Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods if
you want to reach low reduced temperatures.
