Video4:TubeFormation

In this video, the self-assembly of a tube in a system of 3000 discs with κ = 0.3 and H=40 and 10,000 spheres at T=4.5, studied in Section 6.2, is illustrated. The particles are coloured based on their locations in the formed tube at step of 120 millions. Particles which finally reside at the inner layer of tube are in blue and those at the outer layer are coloured in red. The particles which are not in the final configuration but appears in the growing cluster are shown in white. The particles which are present in final tube but are dissolved in the solution are shown by their short axes and the associated colour.
