Abstract
We present a simple continuum simulation method for multicomponent lipid bilayers that accounts for both the Saffman-Delbruck hydrodynamics of the membrane and the appropriate thermal fluctuations. We use this scheme to describe the dynamics of ternary model membranes on length scales from nanometers to microns and time scales of up to tens of seconds. Simulation results for phase separation, domain diffusion, and domain flickering are all in agreement with experimental results and well-established theory.
