Asters, Spirals and Vortices in Mixtures of Motors and Microtubules: The Effects of Confining Geometries on Pattern Formation
Sumithra Sankararaman, Gautam I. Menon, P. B. Sunil Kumar
We model the effects of confinement on the stable self-organized patterns obtained in the non-equilibrium steady states of mixtures of molecular motors and microtubules. In experim…

Kinetics of Phase Ordering in a Two-Component Fluid Membrane
P. B. Sunil Kumar, Madan Rao
We present a novel Monte Carlo simulation of the phase separation dynamics of a model fluid membrane. Such a phase segregation induces shape changes of the membrane and results in…

Imbibition: An Example of Nonconserved Cellular Automaton
P. B. Sunil Kumar, Debnarayan Jana
We report an imbibition experiment in 2D random porous media in which height - height correlation function grows with a nonuniversal exponent. We find the exponent to depend on eva…
