Topology of pulsating active matter: Defect asymmetry controls emergent motility
Luca Casagrande, Alessandro Manacorda, Étienne Fodor
In pulsating active matter, topological defects are motile despite the absence of any macroscopic flows and microscopic self-propulsion. We reveal that this motility arises from a…
Collective deformation of anisotropic particles with internal pulsation
Luca Casagrande, Alessandro Manacorda, Étienne Fodor
Capturing the emergence of deformation waves in contractile living tissues is a challenge that has recently been tackled with models of actively deformable particles. Inspired by t…
Species interconversion of deformable particles yields transient phase separation
Yiwei Zhang, Alessandro Manacorda, Étienne Fodor
We consider a dense assembly of repulsive particles whose fluctuating sizes are subject to an energetic landscape that defines three species: two distinct states of particles with…
Lattice models for granular-like velocity fields: Hydrodynamic limit
Alessandro Manacorda, Carlos A. Plata, Antonio Lasanta +2
A recently introduced model describing -on a 1d lattice- the velocity field of a granular fluid is discussed in detail. The dynamics of the velocity field occurs through next-neigh…
