Rheology of active emulsions with negative effective viscosity
Ilario Favuzzi, Livio Nicola Carenza, Federico Corberi +3
We numerically study by lattice Boltzmann simulations the rheological properties of an active emulsion made of a suspension of an active polar gel embedded in an isotropic passive…
Activity induced isotropic-polar transition in active liquid crystals
M. G. Giordano, F. Bonelli, L. N. Carenza +2
Active fluids are intrinsically out-of-equilibrium systems due to the internal energy injection of the active constituents. We show here that a transition from a motion-less isotro…
Chaotic and periodical dynamics of active chiral droplets
Livio Nicola Carenza, Giuseppe Gonnella, Davide Marenduzzo +1
The interplay between the chirality of many biological molecules and the energy injected at small length-scales as the result of biological processes is at the base of the life of…
Rotation and propulsion in 3d active chiral droplets
Livio Nicola Carenza, Giuseppe Gonnella, Davide Marenduzzo +1
Chirality is a recurrent theme in the study of biological systems, in which active processes are driven by the internal conversion of chemical energy into work. Bacterial flagella,…
Rheology of active polar emulsions: from linear to unidirectional and unviscid flow, and intermittent viscosity
Giuseppe Negro, Livio Nicola Carenza, Antonio Lamura +2
The rheological behaviour of an emulsion made of an active polar component and an isotropic passive fluid is studied by lattice Boltzmann methods. Different flow regimes are found…
Dynamically asymmetric and bicontinuous morphologies in active emulsions
Livio Nicola Carenza, Giuseppe Gonnella, Antonio Lamura +1
The morphology of a mixture made of a polar active gel immersed in an isotropic passive fluid is studied numerically. Lattice Boltzmann method is adopted to solve the Navier-Stokes…
