Nonlinear dynamics and rheology of active fluids: simulations in two dimensions
S. M. Fielding, D. Marenduzzo, M. E. Cates
We report simulations of a continuum model for (apolar, flow aligning) active fluids in two dimensions. Both free and anchored boundary conditions are considered, at parallel confi…
Lattice Boltzmann simulations of liquid crystalline fluids: active gels and blue phases
M. E. Cates, O. Henrich, D. Marenduzzo +1
Lattice Boltzmann simulations have become a method of choice to solve the hydrodynamic equations of motion of a number of complex fluids. Here we review some recent applications of…
Ordering dynamics of blue phases entails kinetic stabilization of amorphous networks
O. Henrich, K. Stratford, D. Marenduzzo +1
The cubic blue phases of liquid crystals are fascinating and technologically promising examples of hierarchically structured soft materials, comprising ordered networks of defect l…
Thermodynamics of Blue Phases In Electric Fields
O. Henrich, D. Marenduzzo, K. Stratford +1
We present extensive numerical studies to determine the phase diagrams of cubic and hexagonal blue phases in an electric field. We confirm the earlier prediction that hexagonal pha…
Non-equilibrium dynamics of an active colloidal "chucker"
C. Valeriani, R. J. Allen, D. Marenduzzo
We report Monte Carlo simulations of the dynamics of a "chucker": a colloidal particle which emits smaller solute particles from its surface, isotropically and at a constant rate k…
