Flexibility Controls Active-Filament Transport in Crowded Landscapes
Qingyi Di, Mohammad Fazelzadeh, Sara Jabbari-Farouji
Active filaments, ranging from motor-driven biopolymers to elongated bacteria and worms, are paradigmatic examples of deformable active matter. How filament flexibility interacts w…
Modulation of Non-equilibrium Structures of Active Dipolar Particles by an External Field
Baptiste Parage, Sara Jabbari-Farouji
We study the impact of an external alignment field on the structure formation and polarization behavior of low-density dipolar active particles in three dimensions. Performing exte…
Emergent Isotropic-Nematic Transition in 3D Semiflexible Active Polymers
Twan Hooijschuur, Ehsan Irani, Antoine Deblais +1
Active semiflexible filament collectives, ranging from motor-driven cytoskeletal filaments to slender organisms such as cyanobacteria and worm aggregates, abound in nature. Yet how…
Locomotion of Active Polymerlike Worms in Porous Media
Rosa Sinaasappel, Mohammad Fazelzadeh, Twan Hooijschuur +3
We investigate the locomotion of thin, living T. tubifex worms, which display active polymerlike behavior, within quasi-2D arrays of cylindrical pillars, examining varying spatial…
Pore network models for the evaporation of complex fluids in porous media
Romane Le Dizès Castell, Marc Prat, Noushine Shahidzadeh +1
Drying of fluids undergoing sol-gel transition in porous media, a process crucial for the consolidation of damaged porous structures in cultural heritage, often leads to skin forma…
Conformation and dynamics of wet tangentially-driven active filaments
Loek van Steijn, Mohammad Fazelzadeh, Sara Jabbari-Farouji
We explore the impact of hydrodynamic interactions on the conformational and dynamical properties of wet tangentially-driven active polymers using multiparticle collision dynamics…
