Three dimensional contractile droplet under confinement
Adriano Tiribocchi, Marco Lauricella, Andrea Montessori +1
We numerically study the dynamics of a three-dimensional contractile fluid droplet in the bulk and under confinement. We show that varying activity leads to a variety of shapes and…
Ghost-Mode Filtered Fluctuating Lattice Boltzmann Method
Marco Lauricella, Andrea Montessori, Adriano Tiribocchi +1
Fluctuating lattice Boltzmann solvers are widely employed to model mesoscopic fluid behavior in soft-matter systems, including colloidal suspensions and dilute polymer solutions. D…
Lattice Boltzmann simulations for soft flowing matter
A. Tiribocchi, M. Durve, M. Lauricella +3
Over the last decade, the Lattice Boltzmann method has found major scope for the simulation of a large spectrum of problems in soft matter, from multiphase and multi-component micr…
Spontaneous motion of a passive fluid droplet in an active microchannel
A. Tiribocchi, M. Durve, M. Lauricella +2
We numerically study the dynamics of a passive fluid droplet confined within a microchannel whose walls are covered with a thin layer of active gel. The latter represents a fluid o…
Shapes and dynamic regimes of a polar active fluid droplet under confinement
Adriano Tiribocchi, Mihir Durve, Marco Lauricella +3
Active droplets are artificial microswimmers built from a liquid dispersion by microfluidic tools and showing self-propelled motion. These systems hold particular interest for mimi…
The crucial role of adhesion in the transmigration of active droplets through interstitial orifices
A. Tiribocchi, M. Durve, M. Lauricella +3
Active fluid droplets are a class of soft materials exhibiting autonomous motion sustained by an energy supply. Such systems have been shown to capture motility regimes typical of…
