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…
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…
