Spatiotemporal patterning of extensile active stresses in microtubule-based active fluids
Linnea M. Lemma, Minu Varghese, Tyler D. Ross +3
Active stresses, which are collectively generated by the motion of energy-consuming rod-like constituents, generate chaotic autonomous flows. Controlling active stresses in space a…
Data-driven discovery of active nematic hydrodynamics
Chaitanya Joshi, Sattvic Ray, Linnea Lemma +5
Two-dimensional active nematics are often modeled using phenomenological continuum theories that describe the dynamics of the nematic director and fluid velocity through partial di…
Dual antagonistic role of motor proteins in fluidizing active networks
Bibi Najma, Minu Varghese, Lev Tsidilkovski +3
Cells accomplish diverse functions using the same molecular building blocks, from setting up cytoplasmic flows to generating mechanical forces. In particular, transitions between t…
Confinement controlled bend instability of three-dimensional active fluids
Pooja Chandrakar, Minu Varghese, S. Ali Aghvami +3
Spontaneous growth of long-wavelength deformations is a defining feature of active fluids with orientational order. We investigate the effect of biaxial rectangular confinement on…
Confinement-induced Self-Pumping in 3D Active Fluids
Minu Varghese, Arvind Baskaran, Michael Hagan +1
Two dimensional active fluids display a transition from turbulent to coherent flow upon decreasing the size of the confining geometry. A recent experiment suggests that the behavio…
Topological structure and dynamics of three dimensional active nematics
Guillaume Duclos, Raymond Adkins, Debarghya Banerjee +13
Point-like motile topological defects control the universal dynamics of diverse two-dimensional active nematics ranging from shaken granular rods to cellular monolayers. A comparab…
