Submersed Micropatterned Structures Control Active Nematic Flow, Topology and Concentration
Kristian Thijssen, Dimitrius Khaladj, S. Ali Aghvami +5
Coupling between flows and material properties imbues rheological matter with its wide-ranging applicability, hence the excitement for harnessing the rheology of active fluids for…
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…
Multiscale Microtubule Dynamics in Active Nematics
Linnea M. Lemma, Michael M. Norton, Alexandra M. Tayar +5
In microtubule-based active nematics, motor-driven extensile motion of microtubule bundles powers chaotic large-scale dynamics. We quantify the interfilament sliding motion both in…
Self-organized dynamics and the transition to turbulence of confined active nematics
Achini Opathalage, Michael M. Norton, Michael P. N. Juniper +4
We study how confinement transforms the chaotic dynamics of bulk microtubule-based active nematics into regular spatiotemporal patterns. For weak confinements, multiple continuousl…
