Vortex Lattices in Active Nematics with Periodic Obstacle Arrays
Cody D. Schimming, C. J. O. Reichhardt, C. Reichhardt
We numerically model a two-dimensional active nematic confined by a periodic array of fixed obstacles. Even in the passive nematic, the appearance of topological defects is unavoid…
A tensor density measure of topological charge in three dimensional nematic phases
Cody D. Schimming, Jorge Viñals
A path independent measure in order parameter space is introduced such that, when integrated along any closed contour in a three dimensional nematic phase, it yields the topologica…
Friction mediated phase transition in confined active nematics
Cody D. Schimming, C. J. O. Reichhardt, C. Reichhardt
Using a minimal continuum model, we investigate the interplay between circular confinement and substrate friction in active nematics. Upon increasing the friction from low to high,…
