Modeling active nematics via the nematic locking principle
Kevin A. Mitchell, Md Mainul Hasan Sabbir, Sean Ricarte +2
Active nematic systems consist of rod-like internally driven subunits that interact with one another to form large-scale coherent flows. They are important examples of far-from-equ…

Controlling chaos: Periodic defect braiding in active nematics confined to a cardioid
Fereshteh L. Memarian, Derek Hammar, Md Mainul Hasan Sabbir +3
This work examines self-mixing in active nematics, a class of fluids in which mobile topological defects drive chaotic flows in a system comprised of biological filaments and molec…

Maximally mixing active nematics
Kevin A. Mitchell, Md Mainul Hasan Sabbir, Kevin Geumhan +3
Active nematics are an important new paradigm in soft condensed matter systems. They consist of rod-like components with an internal driving force pushing them out of equilibrium.…
