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…
Cascade or not cascade? Energy transfer and elastic effects in active nematics
Livio Nicola Carenza, Luca Biferale, Giuseppe Gonnella
We numerically study the multi-scale properties of a 2d active gel to address the energy transfer mechanism. We find that activity is able to excite long-ranged distortions of the…
Lattice Boltzmann simulations of self-propelling chiral active droplets
L. N. Carenza, G. Gonnella, G. Negro
Active matter describes materials whose constituents are driven out of equilibrium by continuous energy consumption, for instance from ATP. Due to the orientable character of the c…
Soft channel formation and symmetry breaking in exotic active emulsions
L. N. Carenza, G. Gonnella, A. Lamura +3
We use computer simulations to study the morphology and rheological properties of a bidimensional emulsion resulting from a mixture of a passive isotropic fluid and an active contr…
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…
