Effect of pressure profile of shock waves on lipid membrane deformation - Fig 4

(a)-(b): Time history of the average pressure of the simulation box for different shock pulse durations when pressure impulses of (a) 1 mPa·s or (b) 10 mPa·s are applied. The differences in simulation times shown are due to the variations in shock wave speed since the shock simulations were set to stop when the wave reached the end of the simulation box. (Note that a moving average over 0.25 ps is applied to the pressure history curves.) (c)-(d): Local pressure distribution along the z direction at different times for (c) 1 mPa·s and (d) 10 mPa·s pressure impulses and for the shock water slab thickness of 5 Å.
