Soft Colloidal Robots: Magnetically Guided Liquid Crystal Torons for Targeted Micro-Cargo Delivery
Joel Torres, Rodrigo C. V. Coelho, Patrick Oswald +2
Quasiparticles in liquid crystals, such as torons and skyrmions, represent a new class of topologically protected solitonic excitations, offering a promising route toward soft micr…
Spontaneous rotation and propulsion of suspended capsules in active nematics
Júlio P. A. Santos, Margarida M. Telo da Gama, Rodrigo C. V. Coelho
We investigate the dynamics of elastic capsules suspended in two-dimensional active nematic fluids using lattice Boltzmann simulations. The capsules, modeled as flexible membranes…
Shape transitions of sedimenting confined droplets and capsules: from oblate to bullet-like geometries
Danilo P. F. Silva, Rodrigo C. V. Coelho, Ariel Dvir +4
The transport and deformation of confined droplets and flexible capsules are central to diverse phenomena and applications, from biological flows in microcapillaries to industrial…
Phase Separation in Mixtures of Nematic and Isotropic Fluids
Margarida M. Telo da Gama, Rodrigo C. V. Coelho
Mixtures of nematic liquid crystals and isotropic fluids display a diverse range of phase behaviors, arising from the coupling between orientational order and concentration fluctua…
Efficient single-precision simulations of nematohydrodynamics
Guilherme N. C. Amaral, Mahmoud Sedahmed, Margarida M. Telo da Gama +1
Simulations of nematohydrodynamics on graphics processing units (GPUs) are typically performed using double precision, which ensures accuracy but significantly increases computatio…
