Phases of active matter in two dimensions
Leticia F. Cugliandolo, Giuseppe Gonnella
These notes focus on the description of the phases of matter in two dimensions. Firstly, we present a brief discussion of the phase diagrams of bidimensional interacting passive sy…
Rheology of an inverted cholesteric droplet under shear flow
Federico Fadda, Giuseppe Gonnella, Antonio Lamura +2
The dynamics of a quasi two-dimensional isotropic droplet in a cholesteric liquid crystal medium under symmetric shear flow is studied by lattice Boltzmann simulations. We consider…
Full phase diagram of active Brownian disks: from melting to motility-induced phase separation
Pasquale Digregorio, Demian Levis, Antonio Suma +3
We establish the complete phase diagram of self-propelled hard disks in two spatial dimensions from the analysis of the equation of state and the statistics of local order paramete…
Active dumbbells: dynamics and morphology in the coexisting region
Isabella Petrelli, Pasquale Digregorio, Leticia F. Cugliandolo +2
With the help of molecular dynamics simulations we study an ensemble of active dumbbells in purely repulsive interaction. We derive the phase diagram in the density-activity plane…
Lamellar ordering, droplet formation and phase inversion in exotic active emulsions
Francesco Bonelli, Livio Nicola Carenza, Giuseppe Gonnella +3
We study numerically the behaviour of a mixture of a passive isotropic fluid and an active polar gel, in the presence of a surfactant favouring emulsification. Focussing on paramet…
Corner transport upwind lattice Boltzmann model for bubble cavitation
V. Sofonea, T. Biciuşcă, S. Busuioc +3
Aiming to study the bubble cavitation problem in quiescent and sheared liquids, a third-order isothermal lattice Boltzmann (LB) model that describes a two-dimensional () fluid…
