Motor crosslinking augments elasticity in active nematics
Steven A. Redford, Jonathan Colen, Jordan L. Shivers +8
In active materials, uncoordinated internal stresses lead to emergent long-range flows. An understanding of how the behavior of active materials depends on mesoscopic (hydrodynamic…
Pattern formation in odd viscoelastic fluids
Carlos Floyd, Aaron R. Dinner, Suriyanarayanan Vaikuntanathan
Non-reciprocal interactions fueled by local energy consumption can be found in biological and synthetic active matter at scales where viscoelastic forces are important. Such system…
Simulating structured fluids with tensorial viscoelasticity
Carlos Floyd, Suriyanarayanan Vaikuntanathan, Aaron Dinner
We consider an immersed elastic body that is actively driven through a structured fluid by a motor or an external force. The behavior of such a system generally cannot be solved an…
On Stretching, Bending, Shearing and Twisting of Actin Filaments II: Multi-Resolution Modelling
Ravinda Gunaratne, Carlos Floyd, Haoran Ni +2
We present a multi-resolution methodology for modelling F-actin filaments. It provides detailed microscopic information at the level of individual monomers at a lower computational…
On Stretching, Bending, Shearing and Twisting of Actin Filaments I: Variational Models
Carlos Floyd, Haoran Ni, Ravinda S. Gunaratne +2
Mechanochemical simulations of actomyosin networks are traditionally based on one-dimensional models of actin filaments having zero width. Here, and in the follow up paper, approac…
Segmental Lennard-Jones Interactions for Semi-flexible Polymer Networks
Carlos Floyd, Aravind Chandrasekaran, Haoran Ni +2
Simulating soft matter systems such as the cytoskeleton can enable deep understanding of experimentally observed phenomena. One challenge of modeling such systems is realistic desc…
