Self-mixing in microtubule-kinesin active fluid from nonuniform to uniform distribution of activity
Teagan E Bate, Megan E Varney, Ezra H Taylor +4
Active fluids have applications in micromixing, but little is known about the mixing kinematics of systems with spatiotemporally-varying activity. To investigate, UV-activated cage…
Flow coupling between active and passive fluids across water-oil interfaces
Yen-Chen Chen, Brock Jolicoeur, Chih-Che Chueh +1
Active fluid droplets surrounded by oil can spontaneously develop circulatory flows. However, the dynamics of the surrounding oil and their influence on the active fluid remain poo…
Effects of confinement on the dynamics and correlation scales in active fluids
Yi Fan, Kun-Ta Wu, Ali Aghvami +2
We study the influence of solid boundaries on dynamics and structure of active fluids as the height of the container, , changes. Along the varying dimension, the geometry system…
Collective dynamics of microtubule-based 3D active fluids from single microtubules
Teagan E. Bate, Edward J. Jarvis, Megan E. Varney +1
Self-organization of kinesin-driven, microtubule-based 3D active fluids relies on the collective dynamics of single microtubules. However, the connection between macroscopic fluid…
Microtubule-based active fluids with improved lifetime, temporal stability and miscibility with passive soft materials
Pooja Chandrakar, John Berezney, Bezia Lemma +8
We have developed several distinct model systems of microtubule-based 3D active isotropic fluids and have compared their dynamical and structural properties. The non-equilibrium dy…
Transition from turbulent to coherent flows in confined three-dimensional active fluids
Kun-Ta Wu, Jean Bernard Hishamunda, Daniel T. N. Chen +5
Transport of fluid through a pipe is essential for the operation of macroscale machines and microfluidic devices. Conventional fluids only flow in response to external pressure. We…
