Topological kicks enhance colloidal diffusivity in topological turbulence
Timofey Kozhukhov, Benjamin Loewe, Kristian Thijssen +1
Colloidal inclusions in nematic fluids induce topological defects that govern their dynamics. These defects create well-understood rheological behavior in passive nematics, but the…

Intercellular Friction and Motility Drive Orientational Order in Cell Monolayers
Michael Chiang, Austin Hopkins, Benjamin Loewe +2
Spatiotemporal patterns in multicellular systems are important to understanding tissue dynamics, for instance, during embryonic development and disease. Here, we use a multiphase f…

Multi-Particle Collision Framework for Active Polar Fluids
Oleksandr Baziei, BenjamÃn Loewe, Tyler N. Shendruk
Sufficiently dense intrinsically out-of-equilibrium suspensions, such as those observed in biological systems, can be modelled as active fluids characterised by their orientational…
