Dynamics and interactions of active rotors
M. Leoni, T. B. Liverpool
We consider a simple model of an internally driven self-rotating object; a rotor, confined to two dimensions by a thin film of low Reynolds number fluid. We undertake a detailed st…

Swimmers in thin films: from swarming to hydrodynamic instabilities
M. Leoni, T. B. Liverpool
We investigate theoretically the collective dynamics of a suspension of low Reynolds number swimmers that are confined to two dimensions by a thin fluid film. Our model swimmer is…

Sheared active fluids: thickening, thinning and vanishing viscosity
Luca Giomi, M. Cristina Marchetti, Tanniemola B. Liverpool
We analyze the behavior of a suspension of active polar particles under shear. In the absence of external forces, orientationally ordered active particles are known to exhibit a tr…
